I think this is fine. "compatible" vs "default" is a good compromise. Small remarks inside. Sorry for all the bikeshedding!

Cheers, Thomas

Could you limit this to `_APPLE_`? I don't think this affects the BSDs.

(We really should separate BSD and MacOS sources at some point.)

Also maybe a comment like this: "Core region alignment is 16K to be able to run binaries built on MacOS x64 on MacOS aarch64." ?
