ACPICA provides iasl, the ASL+ compiler EDK II shells out to when turning
.asl ACPI tables into .aml during firmware builds. It is not in the pantry
yet, so packaging it as a standalone build-time dependency.
Darwin/arm64 needs -Wl,-no_fixup_chains: ACPICA keeps unaligned function
pointers in __DATA,__const tables that the mach-o chained-fixups format
rejects ("pointer not aligned in '_AcpiExDumpNode'").

Adds
acpica.org, packaging Intel ACPICA'siasl— the ASL+ optimizing compiler/disassembler.Why
EDK II (#13239) shells out to
iaslto compile.aslACPI tables into.amlduring firmware builds (RamDiskDxe's NFIT table, etc.).iaslisn't currently in the pantry, so the edk2 build fails withiasl: command not found(exit 127). This packages it as a standalone build-time dependency.Notes
R20YY_MM_DDto a cleanYYYYMMDDscheme around mid-2025; we match only the latter.-Wl,-no_fixup_chains: ACPICA keeps unaligned function pointers in__DATA,__consttables that the mach-o chained-fixups format rejects (ld: pointer not aligned in '_AcpiExDumpNode'; lld emits the same advice).Test plan
Built
iasllocally on darwin/arm64 (pantry flex/bison/clang) from the resolved tag20260408;iasl -vreports the version and it compiles a trivial SSDT to.aml.
