Description

I'm attempting to build a package on an M1 machine that depends on libgit2-sys. This package is known to build successfully on x86_64-darwin. However, I'm getting the following build error on aarch64:

warning: libgit2/src/streams/stransport.c:13:10: fatal error: 'Security/SecureTransport.h' file not found
warning: #include <Security/SecureTransport.h>
warning:          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
warning: 1 error generated.

See https://gist.github.com/samuela/54aa3bfe628c055b6f1f3220a9291e88 for the complete build log.

How can one build git2-rs on aarch64 machines?

Research direction

Start with libgit2/src/streams/stransport.c and the linked complete build log, focusing on the missing Security/SecureTransport.h include during an aarch64-darwin build. Determine how git2-rs can build successfully on an M1 or other aarch64 machine, then verify the package builds on that target.
