stage1 of GCC build (master branch as of yesterday) fails with the error:

*** Configuration aarch64-apple-darwin20.3.0 not supported
make[2]: *** [configure-stage1-gcc] Error 1

Is it expected issue?

Yes, that’s expected (it is not a bug).

I had impression that GCC works on Apple Silicon
macs.

There is an experimental branch here :
https://github.com/iains/gcc-darwin-arm64

but it is not yet ready for inclusion in GCC master,

Thanks for the reference.
I'm trying to build from your master-wip-apple-si branch and it doesn't
build too:

The directory that should contain system headers does not exist:
 /usr/include

(this is not specific to Arm64 - it applies to building for x86_64 on modern macOS).

These days (on macOS) there are no headers installed in /usr/include even when the developer tools are installed.

So, you have to configure a path to the SDK [which contains the headers and the library stubs] (from, say, an installation of the command line tools - or from Xcode).

Two approaches:

1) [this is what I tend to use]

Install the command line tools.
Now there will be an SDK at /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOS.sdk

so you can configure with…
/path/to/source/configure —prefix=…. —with-sysroot=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOS.sdk ….

2) You can ask where the SDK is for an installation with Xcode only.

/path/to/source/configure —prefix=…. —with-sysroot=`xcrun —show-sdk-path`  ….

====

In general, it is best not to add configuration options unles you know *why* you’re adding them - but for modern macOS, it is a good idea to avoid the default install path /usr/local … most people install now into /opt/…..

You can find general information on building GCC here : https://gcc.gnu.org/install/

=====

My configure lines look like this:

/src-local/gcc-master/configure --prefix=/opt/iains/aarch64-apple-darwin20/gcc-11-0-0 --build=aarch64-apple-darwin20 --with-sysroot=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk --disable-libstdcxx-pch --enable-languages=all

and you can see some test results here:
