gtkwave
GTKWave is a fully featured GTK+ based wave viewer for Unix and Win32 which reads LXT, LXT2, VZT, FST, and GHW files as well as standard Verilog VCD/EVCD files and allows their viewing. (by gtkwave)

The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

GTKWave on MacOS Sonoma
I updated my Mac with latest MacOS Sonoma and now I can't open anymore GTKWave. Is anybody knows how to rebuild it? Looks like the developers are not willing to rebuild it and I'm not sufficiently skilled to do it and propose a new build to Brew.

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?

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.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing gtkwave and ghdl you can also consider the following projects:
