Since JDK17 there has been a dependency on metal in the macOS builds which is only available as part of the full Xcode IDE (rather than command-line tools). We currently recommend only installing the command-line tools in the building.md doc which is incorrect.

See https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/e1c4d3039f6b5106ce3f65d50f607eacc2a8d168/make/autoconf/toolchain.m4#L681
