I should have made it clearer that we expect to release a new installer variant 
for macOS 11.6 Big Sur that supports both Intel and Apple Silicon architectures 
later this year (i.e. in several months) when Big Sur releases. It will be much 
easier to support newer optimizations in that variant.  We are in the process 
right now of getting builds to work on the developer previews and on developer 
hardware. We will look at optimizations for that variant then.

Please drop the idea of trying to change how we build on 10.9 (and, yes, we are 
perfectly capable of finding newer compilers to run on 10.9 but that's not the 
point - we *only* support building installers with standard Apple Developer 
Tool chains and with good reason); hacking on 10.9 is not worth it at this 
point.
