[GNC] Finance::Quote on Mac M1

So does this mean a future official build of gnucash will have an ARM version and we'll be able to get quotes again? That would be great!

Thanks,

It tries to compile ARM32 and fails noisily for hundreds of unrecognized assembler instructions. The solution is to clone the master branch from http://git.lysator.liu.se/nettle/nettle and build that instead.
