Description
While trying to run portable-python build 3.9.7 on an m4 mac I encountered the linking error down below.
I installed portable python using pip3.9 install portable-python using python 3.9.25 installed by homebrew

Research direction
Start by reproducing portable-python build 3.9.7 on an M4 ARM Mac using the reported Python installation. Inspect the build and linking inputs related to the missing libintl symbols; done means the command completes without the arm64 linker failure.
