Research direction

Start with extconf.rb:9 and inspect the referenced mkmf.log and gem_make.out for the clocale native-extension failure. Reproduce the installation attempt on the reported M1 Pro and Monterey environment; done means the cause is documented and the colorls installation path no longer produces this failure.
