Description
Since yesterday, macos-latest means macOS 14 using arm64 architecture. That trips our cross-compilation detection and results in x86_64 job not building g2.dat, which fails entire build. The cross-compilation detection should be improved to address this. For now, reverting runner images to macos-12 (the previous version used for our builds) should suffice.

Research direction
Start by locating the CI workflow entries that select macos-latest and the cross-compilation logic controlling generation of g2.dat. Reproduce the macOS build failure, then verify that the arm64 runner builds the required x86_64 artifact, or that the workflows consistently use macos-12 as the stated interim fix.
