We usually don't release patches to make older OTP releases work on recent OS releases, but we will make an exception in this case.

We plan to release a patch that also includes back ports of the following important pull requests: #2768 and #2708.

Does anyone remember whether there any other important bug fixes for macOS that should be included in that patch?

Thanks much, @bjorng!

Just FYI, Homebrew has also been quietly applying #2687 (a.k.a. ERL-1306) to fix maint-21 and maint-22 Xcode 12+ configure failures on Big Sur (and I think Catalina as well) for some time now. Would be good to have that backported too. Thanks again!

Yes, my branch didn't build so I found and cherry-picked that one too. So far my branch has four commits. We will do some more testing and then we will add the branch to the queue of patches to be released. Here is my branch:
