you will need to do at least 2 calls to this function per compilation, and
might need to call it an even number of times at processing time as well if
your JIT is somehow self modifying.

could you elaborate on why you can't target 11 for Apple Silicon and whichever
older version you would like to support in Intel?
the test I reported in comment #4 did that and used `lipo` to generate a
(AFAIK) working version of a universal binary.

would this patch on top allow you to complete your build, which versions are
you planning to support and test it on?
