I have some success in proceeding toward building rstan, though V8 failed at the moment: [Override dependency on V8 or make V8 build on PowerPC Mac? (R 4.1.2)](https://discourse.mc-stan.org/t/override-dependency-on-v8-or-make-v8-build-on-powerpc-mac-r-4-1-2/25432)

If that is sorted and I am ready to build rstan itself, all the same issues as with CmdStan will arise, right? I am thinking how to minimize “dependency hell”, since fixing every failing component is usually a non-trivial task in its own right.
