efcore: Exception when creating SQLite DB in when targetting osx-arm64 / .Net 6 (preview)

I’m using a SQLite provider with .Net 6.0 preview 1, and EFCore 6.0, targetting Apple Silicon (osx-arm64). When the DB creation is attempted, the following exception is thrown:

Exception: The type initializer for 'Microsoft.Data.Sqlite.SqliteConnection' threw an exception.
Unhandled exception. System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Microsoft.Data.Sqlite.SqliteConnection' threw an exception.
 ---> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
 ---> System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load shared library 'e_sqlite3' or one of its dependencies. In order to help diagnose loading problems, consider setting the DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES environment variable: dlopen(libe_sqlite3, 1): image not found

Discussed this with Rich Lander, and concluded that it’s likely to be because the native/unmanaged SQLite libraries can’t be loaded because they’re x64, not arm64.

The project where this happens is here: https://github.com/Webreaper/Damselfly - I will try and create a small standalone repro project if I get time.
