quarkus: Native application gets Killed: 9 on macOS Big Sur with binutils on the path

I have a simple project created by maven extension as described in https://quarkus.io/guides/getting-started#bootstrapping-the-project. Running mvn clean verify -Dnative ends with Failed to start native image, process has exited on macOS Big Sur. EDIT: the main problem is in binutils, see https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/issues/13856#issuecomment-755178876

I didn’t have this problem on the previous macOS version 10.15 Catalina. I noticed this issue only on macOS Big Sur.

Using GraalVM 20.3.0

native-image --version
GraalVM Version 20.3.0 (Java Version 11.0.9+10-jvmci-20.3-b06)

Running just the native binary gives Killed: 9

target/getting-started-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-runner
Killed: 9

I tried to remove some metadata from the generated native binary, but that didn’t help

sudo xattr -d -r com.apple.quarantine  target/getting-started-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-runner
target/getting-started-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-runner
Killed: 9

Native image build went well:
