The Arduino developers are tracking the request for distribution of native Apple Silicon builds of Ctags here:

With Apple migrating to ARM over three years ago, most softwares are provided wi… th native ARM builds these days. This no longer necessitates Rosetta and the overhead it carries.
The Arduino IDE has migrated, but in effect, it is still reliant on Rosetta to function because the toolchain has not yet been migrated.
EDIT: Builds (and runs) with this fix, but have not tested any further to see if it works properly: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60714909/when-i-make-the-configure-of-ctags-5-8-has-the-undeclared-identifie-erro
And for the AVR toolchain here:

Hello!
I know we should be able to use the `avr-gcc-7.3.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino7-x… 86_64-apple-darwin14` with Rosetta 2 on Apple silicon Macs for now, but I'm curious if it's considered to provide a native build for Apple silicon Macs for the near or far future.
