[How to build SDK CLI on M1 mac]

I am trying to build the SDK on an M1 MacMini 2020 adn here is the results I am getting:

xx@tvs-Mac-mini cli % make flirc_util

make: *** [flirc_util] Error 2

I guess the Darwin_arm64 version of the library doesn't exist. I was wondering if there are any work arounds for this.
