OCaml for ARM MacOS

I wonder if OCaml will add native support for their new ARM CPUs, and how hard it is, and how long would that take roughly — 1month, 1 year, 10 years?

10 days? The OCaml ARM64 code generator is in very good shape already, and the recent pull request Add support to iOS / Mac ARM64 by EduardoRFS · Pull Request #9699 · ocaml/ocaml · GitHub adds iOS ARM64 support, which should not be very far from macOS ARM64 support.

However, I would really like to have SSH access to one of those MacMini ARM64 development platforms. That would speed up porting and testing tremendously. Emulators and jailbreaked phones are a pain.
