yarn install fails on m1

See original GitHub issue

Environment:

M1 Mac.
Terminal, node, yarn all running natively (not via rosetta). I.e.: yarn, v3.0.2, is in /opt/homebrew/bin/yarn node, v17.0.1, is in /opt/homebrew/bin/yarn

Steps to reproduce:

git clone https://github.com/substrate-developer-hub/substrate-front-end-template
cd substrate-front-end-template
yarn install

Result: I get errors for many dependencies, in this form:

...

I suspect it is not related to my terminal/node/yarn because said applications work fine for my other work in react-native. Errors are not limited to babel dependencies, but also most others, including @ledgerhq, @jest, @hapi…

yarn install --verbose returns Unknown Syntax Error: Unsupported option name ("--verbose"). although it does not do this with my React Native app. And there are no error logs in my project root directory.

Wondering if anyone has encountered this and have suggestions for a fix? For now, npm install and npm start work without issue.
