sharp: Segmentation Fault under Rosetta emulation, Node.js 14, M1 Max, macOS Monterey

Related issue: https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor-assets/issues/272

Sharp is causing a segmentation fault when converting images on my Mac.

I have macOS Monterey, on an M1 Max chip.

When I download sharp locally and run npm test, I get:

> sharp@0.29.3 test /Users/joshua/Projects/sharp
> npm run test-lint && npm run test-unit && npm run test-licensing


> sharp@0.29.3 test-lint /Users/joshua/Projects/sharp
> semistandard && cpplint


> sharp@0.29.3 test-unit /Users/joshua/Projects/sharp
> nyc --reporter=lcov --branches=99 mocha --slow=1000 --timeout=60000 ./test/unit/*.js

It’s not random, the same tests fail each time.
