[OS X TeX] xindy hangs on ARM

[Alexander Krumeich]

Hi there,

since upgrading to MacTeX 2021 on my M1 MacBook Air, I have a problem
running xindy on one of my documents. This didn't happen with MacTeX
2020.

This is a small excerpt from the screen output:

[187] [188] [189] [190] [191] [192] [193]) [194] (./ase_st_pp98.appnote
[195]) [196]Opening logfile "/dev/null" (done)

Loading module "lang/general/latin9.xdy"...
Finished loading module "lang/general/latin9.xdy".

After this, nothing further happens. I can't stop the process with
Ctrl-C, however I can suspend it with Ctrl-Z:

As you can see, I'm using latexmk with lualatex. Process #27240 hangs.
I I kill it, everything runs normally, even xindy resumes working:

On latexmk's next cycle, however, it hangs again.

Unfortunately, I cannot provide a MWE for this and I'm not really
familiar with xindy. Is there any helpful intermediate data that I
should provide?

Im running

15:42 $ lualatex --version && xindy --version
This is LuaHBTeX, Version 1.13.2 (TeX Live 2021)
