wref to issue https://github.com/IUCompilerCourse/public-student-support-code/issues/13
We do this with the help of inbuilt arch command "Rosetta 2", For now Rosetta is here to stay
and we can make use of it's capabilities to compile x86 instructions on arm machine

I've also made changes to the code base for building on macintosh based on work done here.

Some thoughts I had are changing CC to clang -arch x86_64 is enough for building and, matching on the just the OS is probably enough since this would work on both variants of macintosh that are common.
