MacOS 14.5 on M2 fails to build at gmp

[Ben Salisbury]

Hi.  I'm trying to build Sage from source (the develop branch) on an M2 MBAir running Sonoma 14.5 and the build continues to fail at gmp.  I downloaded a fresh copy of Command Line Tools and installed all the brew packages.  Here is my brew list:

I've also run source .homebrew-build-env within my SAGE_ROOT.  The log file for gmp is attached.  

FWIW, this is a University owned machine and they've spewed all sorts of problem-creating garbage on the machine which may be causing some hurdles.  For example, I was able to get this same build to work effortlessly on my personal M1 MBP.  

Any ideas?

[Dima Pasechnik]

Why is gmp from Brew rejected?
Please post top-level config.log

[Ben Salisbury]

This one?  I included the install.log, too, just for fun.

[Dima Pasechnik]

testing Brew's gmp errors out with <iosfwd> not found.

Something is funny with the Xcode installation, I presume

[Dima Pasechnik]

actually, the C++ compiler is not functioning in this installation.
And you must use Clang/Clang++ to build Sage on macOS, so that's why it's broken

[Matthias Koeppe]

I'd suggest to check if you have stuff in /usr/local that does not belong there.

[Ben Salisbury]

I'm not sure how to tell what's supposed to be there and what isn't.  Here is my top level /usr/local/

Before I go nagging my IT administrators about the damage that cmu/, jamf/, and libexec/ might be doing, do you see anything funny in /bin?

[Marc Culler]

I suggest installing the Sage_macOS app on the university's machine and building from source on a machine which you are allowed to configure.

The binary installation is completely self-contained, so will not be affected by anything the IT administrators may have installed.

[Ben Salisbury]

You're probably right... I'll do that instead. 

[Dima Pasechnik]

I would remove the symbolic link 'sage' in
/usr/local/bin/
