Query: Emacs Vterm on the M1

A while ago I asked about Emacs on the Mac M1. Everyone who replied agreed that Emacs ran without problems so I got myself an M1. I really like it and have almost got it configured as my default machine. I couldn’t get Emacs to compile from source so I loaded emacs-plus@27 from Homebrew. That runs fine and now the only thing not working is vterm.

When I try to install it, it compiles the vterm library for the x86 instead of Arm. I’ve asked Duck Duck Go and even Startpage but haven’t found an answer. The only really relevant thing I found was to ensure that /opt/homebrew/bin and /opt/homebrew/sbin were added to the exec-path variable. I did that but I still can’t get it to compile for Arm.

If anyone has wisdom to impart, I’d be grateful.
