Doubtful. I can't even get Rust to work here on my slightly older Mac system. So with TOR switching away from a well supported language like C it's simple another project lost to me (unlikely you can stick with an older version for long in this case as they regularly break backwards compatibility in their network.)

Could you elaborate on that? macOS Sierra (released on 2016) on Intel macs is supported[1][2], which should allow for Macs from late 2009 onward to work. The Intel Mac build is no longer Tier 1 because the project no longer has access to CI machines for them, and 32-bit cross building is hampered by Xcode 14 not shipping the corresponding SDK[3].
