So LC_ALL=C bypassed the locale issue, which confirmed that there is an issue with the location where the glib and gtk libs expect to load the resources from. Which is probably just a configure parameter issue how the libs were built. Being honest, you can see it yourself, this actually deserves a complete overhaul of the Mac building infrastructure, which simply became far too old now for recent macOS versions. I mean you can try something further like this: LC_ALL=C GTK_CSD=0 /Applications/LinuxSampler/gigedit.app/Contents/MacOS/gigedit To force native macOS visuals and bypassing the Cocoa/Gtk issues that you got now, but considering that Apple will drop support for Rosetta and Intel for good this September, I think it is not worth continuing to fight the symptoms here any longer. It is probably better making a new build environment for Mac from scratch, with latest Gtk and Qt libs, support for Arm and latest macOS APIs, and preferably getting rid of these nasty /usr/local/... install locations for libraries, instead putting all libs into a convenient pure App Bundle that people could simply drag in and out for installing and uninstalling on Mac. However that will be a long run. The problem already starts that for Apple Silicon there is currently no way to build from our Linux based server, neither by cross-compilation (which I would get rid off anyway), nor by virtualization, as the latter requires a Mac, and emulation would be way too slow. So I fear on the short/mid term you probably need to try on building these from source for Apple Silicon on your side.
