It is going to need to use homebrew (or an equivalent) to bring in various
3rd party libraries QEMU depends on at build time, not least glib. So avoiding
homebrew for the build system doesn't appear like an obvious win to me.
I don't think QEMU wants to restrict itself to merely what is available in
the basic macOS install. We expect users to have to pull in stuff from
homebrew or an equivalent to get functionality that Apple has no intention
of ever shipping in their base OS install.
Regards,
Daniel
