GHDL on mac m1
I downloaded https://github.com/ghdl/ghdl/releases/download/v3.0.0/ghdl-macos-11-mcode.tgz and extracted it to home directory ~.

Is the VHDL standard library not publicly available?
The body is here.

If someone is good at programming languages like C, will they be good at description languages like VHDL?
Also, VHDL has its roots in Ada, not Pascal. (In fact, the ghdl simulation tool is written in Ada.)

What is the netlist file format?
If the goal is simulation, the output of the process is something that can be processed by a standard compiler (like gcc or llvm) or executed by a pseudocode interpreter. See, for example, what is done by ghdl.

Converting VHDL to Verilog using GHDL
Maybe you could try to minimize your example to a MWE (minimum working example that demonstrates the issue) and then do a bug report against GHDL at https://github.com/ghdl/ghdl/issues
Try a question here: https://github.com/ghdl/ghdl/issues . I have only used GHDL for VHDL, and it worked well for what I was doing with it, but the creator/chief maintainer(?) (Tristan Gingold) should be able to set your issue straight in a short while, and he is pretty active on github.

ghdl, how to include math_real?
replying to myself: I just installed this nightly on a Win10 box and it seems to "work" based on minimal tests. Note that you need to install MinGW.

Code Checking for VHDL
I personally use 2 tools. The first one catches syntax errors, the second one can catch some logical errors. ghdl, thdl. The commands are respectively ghdl -s --std=08 path/to/file, thdl vet.

Thdl - tool for easing the work with hardware description languages.
I have implemented the tool that some might find interesting https://github.com/m-kru/go-thdl. It is very similar in its concept to go. It allows vetting the code, seeing the documentation and generating the code (not yet supported). It uses simplified syntactic analysis, however it handles for example OSVVM and UVVM without any errors. Thanks to the simplified analysis the response is instant from human point of view. Currently only VHDL is supported, as this is my daily language, but adding support for example for SystemVerilog is foreseen.
What are some alternatives?
