My guess is that something will break. If that's the case, I would recommend starting from scratch as true arm64 w/out Rosetta's emulation.

There are some other warnings that configure does not seem to recognize some options.  I have emphasized both lines above.  The config.log file in "/opt/sw/src/fink.build/dpkg-bootstrap-1.19.7-1/dpkg-1.19.7” ends with the following lines:

You want a part earlier in config.log. Search for the string "checking 
whether the C compiler works" and then read down for the actual error 
that led configure to declare "C compiler cannot create executables".

Also, there's been a couple updates to deal with macOS 13.6 and 12.7 in 
git, so make sure you have git checkout that's up to date (via git pull).
