I believe you’re confusing AOT and Graal. I’m not asking for AOT on all platforms (indeed, I have no use for it on any platform!),  but for Graal itself.

Graal works on Mac, you only need to enable it in the configuration of the build. I’m guessing it works on all x86 platforms.

(Using, e.g.,  ./configure --with-jvm-features=compiler1,compiler2,jvmci,graal)
