I've got a new M3 Macbook Air. My previous laptop was Intel based, so there were a few issues with the update. I wanted to leave some notes here in case anyone else has these problems.

1.  The notes in the Installation and Administration guide suggest using

  FFLAGS="-g -O2 -mmacos-version-min=11.0"
  FCFLAGS="-g -O2 -mmacos-version-min=11.0"

in the config.site file. That causes an error; the last option needs to be "-mmacosx-version-min=11.0", or it can be left out completely.

2. The Xcode command line tools that I installed on the Intel Mac conflict somehow with the new ones installed by

  xcode-select --install

I deleted /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools and reinstalled them.

3.  Simon's script that is installed by

  source("https://mac.R-project.org/bin/install.R";)

doesn't report permission errors. For me it worked at first, but then at some point (not sure when) it started failing to be able to create directories to hold the libs it was installing, but its output still looked like it was working. Running R under sudo fixed this. Changing ownership as suggested in the Installation and Admin manual section C.3.1 should also have worked, but I didn't notice that until later.
