This dosn't seem to do any harm.
See this PR: https://github.com/AdaCore/aws/pull/368

This set of warnings has been there for quite a while. I've never had a
problem with it.

I don't recall those messages ... I probably wasn't looking, so if the
build didn't stop I wouldn't have noticed

I'd say Yes

That's because the alr you're using doesn't understand MacPorts. Watch
this space.

You could try

   cd demos/hello_world
   alr exec -- make TARGET=aarch64-apple-darwin21
   ./hello_world

and within 60 seconds open your browser on localhost:8080.

(the 'make' part rebuilds the whole of aws!!)
