What's the possible reason for this error?
Is there any way to avoid it?
It seems the gcc config param '-arch i386' is not right for my environment, is it the root cause of this error?

Answer 1

Now, at 2022.08.22, Apple M1 is ok to build and run SRS 5.0. Please see issue M1: Not possible to build on Apple Silicon for detail.
We have the docker images for linux/arm/v7 and linux/arm64/v8, it should work on Apple M1 also, see #3058.
Aside from openssl build issue, we also adopt the ST(state-threads) for Apple M1. Apart from the ST(state-threads) adaption, the configure script was updated to identify M1.
ST also is avaialble for Apple M1 now, please see #22.
