There are issues with wx. I've built wxWidgets 3.0.5 for arm64, but 
I had to drop the dataObject module because it calls on QuickTime 
APIs, which are removed in macOS 11. And that means that I had to 
hack the gnuplot wxterm code to disable copy-to-clipboard, which 
depends on dataObject. There may be a way of performing surgery on 
dataObject but I haven't attempted that yet.

So I now have an arm64 build of gnuplot 5.4.1 with wx, but I don't 
have access to an M1 Mac so I don't know yet if it actually works.
