ld64 fails when packaging for iPhone simulator

Question

Trying to package for iPhone simulator (ipa-test-interpreter-simulator) on a Mac with OS X Big Sur, using iPhoneSimulator SDK 14.3 and AIR SDK 33.1.1.345.It fails with error "building for iOS/iOS Simulator, but linking in object file built for macOS".Complete error message follows:ld: in /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator14.3.sdk/../../../../../usr/lib/llvm-gcc/4.2.1/libgcc.a(libgcc.o), building for iOS/iOS Simulator, but linking in object file built for macOS, file '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator14.3.sdk/../../../../../usr/lib/llvm-gcc/4.2.1/libgcc.a' for architecture x86_64

Another addition: There are lots of posts of similar issues on Stackoverflow, and the solutions all pertain to building in XCode itself, not using a 3rd party tool like AIR. One post suggestes that the problem didn't appear in XCode 12.2, so I reverted to 12.2 but I still get the same error.
