Install fails on macOS 11

[tkx68]

I followed the installation instructions for macOS. I use macOS 11 Big Sur. I get the following error. Apparently there seems to be a problem with the clang compiler.

I'm also seeing a failure like this. Here's the message I'm getting:

It looks like this reflex-platform issue may also be related: reflex-frp/reflex-platform#714

Any update on this problem? I am running into the same issue on Big Sur.
