Hi Ben

/ust/bin/xattr exists on my machine. Running "xattr -rc ." manually does not fix the bug as noted at the start of 21506. It was sufficient in the past but no longer fixes this error. As noted farther down in 21506

the workaround given in #17418 no longer works. It did not work in 9.2.2 either. The current workaround is similar to what Kazu explained in https://twitter.com/kazu_yamamoto/status/1500643489985761282
sudo xattr -rc .
sudo spctl --global-disable
./configure
sudo make install
sudo spctl --global-enable

It seems there are files created during sudo make install that have an issue as xattr -rc . was never run on them. Perhaps this is related to using Hadrian. Is it possible that the fix that was made was never tested?

Thanks

George

Thanks for letting us know, George. The fix that we have [1] is present
in 9.4.1-rc1. If that commit doesn't resolve the issue then there is
something that we don't understand. Does `/usr/bin/xattr` exist? Running
`xattr -rc` manually on the binary distribution allow you to run the
compiler?

Cheers,
