"How to Set Up an Edit-Build-Test-Debug Loop" guide is not working as expected

Hi,

I'm trying to set up my local dev environment to build the Swift project as described in the guide below.

apple/swift/blob/main/docs/HowToGuides/GettingStarted.md#troubleshooting-build-issues

# How to Set Up an Edit-Build-Test-Debug Loop

This document describes how to set up a development loop for people interested
in contributing to Swift.

If you are only interested in building the
toolchain as a one-off, there are a couple of differences:
1. You can ignore the parts related to Sccache.
2. You can stop reading after
   [Building the project for the first time](#building-the-project-for-the-first-time).

But stuck at the build step since both utils/build-script for Xcode and ninja are failing.
What am I missing?

Here is my local environment info:

➜  swift git:(main) cmake --version
cmake version 3.20.5
CMake suite maintained and supported by Kitware (kitware.com/cmake).
➜  swift git:(main) python3 --version
Python 3.9.5
➜  swift git:(main) ninja --version
1.10.2
➜  swift git:(main) sccache --version
sccache 0.2.15

Below are error output.

Some similar threads that I checked but no luck.

So, how exactly do you compile the compiler? Compiler

it’s been almost two weeks since the stack corruption bugs were fixed, but for whatever reason, there have not been any nightly toolchains posted to swift.org containing the fix. this is still a blocker for me, so i’ve been looking into building the swift compiler locally. however, the instructions on github seem out of date. i can only get as far as the $ ./swift/utils/build-toolchain $BUNDLE_PREFIX command in the README, which fails with --- Building earlyswiftdriver --- + swift/swift-driv…

Problems with `build-script` building compiler with `--xcode` Compiler

I've been rolling the source code repo back and forth in time today and have found that for me, using an M1 mini, tag swift-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2021-09-09-a builds but tag swift-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2021-09-18-a does not if that helps. This is for --release-debuginfo and without --test. Xcode 13.1.
