Greetings, Please find attached files (two new C headers and the execution log for configure and make). Note that I have used the name "arm64" instead of "aarch64" for the architecture name, because that's how macOS's system headers name it. Note that I also replaced some macros (FPE_INIT related)

Greetings! Great, something I can understand! I am assuming per our previous conversations that there is no virtualbox image possible here. Do you have access to such a machine? Would you be willing to engage in a short dialog constructing this file? It should not be too hard. If so, the firs
