GCC 15.2.0 of macOS/aarch64 doesn't have that flag:
gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option 
‘-femit-dwarf-unwind=always’

I'll have my MacBook Neo on me this weekend, and I'll bring a USB 
key with a full binary package of GCC 15.2.0 (gcc, g++, gdc, 
whatever other frontends you want) for macOS/aarch64 for you.
