The Intel builds work. I've been testing with a developer transition kit since July. Running the current build works fine, but there are still a few dependencies that don't. Until either those teams fix the problems or I write patches for those I can figure out (there are a couple that use assembly language that I won't be able to do anything with) there can't be a native Apple Silicon build of GnuCash. That might take a while.
