fix(build): bootstrap libraries before compiling emu

[Ticed]

Reduced scope per review: this PR now contains only the two fixes that are ready to merge.

QUICKSTART.md had a stale path (X/arm64/bin) that would leave readers with a broken PATH.
emu/port/portmkfile was missing the devprof.$O: $RUNT dependency, so devprof.c would not be rebuilt when runt.h regenerates.

The macOS library-bootstrap work will follow in a separate PR. That follow-up
will address the review notes by removing libfreetype from the loop, dropping the redundant SYSTARG export, and extracting the duplicated bootstrap logic into a shared scripts/bootstrap-libs.sh helper.

Hey @Ticed, thanks for this — really appreciate you taking the time to dig into the build system and put together a fix. This is a real problem: the macOS build scripts aren't self-contained like the Linux one, and a fresh clone + ./build-macos-headless.sh shouldn't leave someone staring at linker errors.

Two of these fixes are clean and I'd like to get them merged right away:

• QUICKSTART.md typo — good catch, X/arm64/bin → MacOSX/arm64/bin
• devprof.$O: $RUNT in portmkfile — devprof.c includes runt.h but was missing the dependency. Correct fix.

For the library bootstrap, I have a few suggestions before we merge that part:

1. libfreetype doesn't need to be built. If you look at the emu/MacOSX/emu config, freetype is commented out in the lib section — it's not linked into either headless or SDL3 builds. Building it is harmless but unnecessary.

2. The SYSTARG export is redundant. mkconfig already sets SYSTARG=$SYSHOST, so the build system picks it up automatically. No harm done, but it's not needed.

3. The library loop is duplicated across three files. Identical 23-line blocks in build-macos-headless.sh, build-macos-sdl3.sh, and build_test.sh will be a maintenance headache. Would you be open to extracting that into a shared script (something like scripts/bootstrap-libs.sh) that all three source? Our CI already handles this as discrete steps — take a look at the macos-arm64 job in .github/workflows/ci.yml for how we structure the build order.

Suggestion: Would you be up for splitting this into two PRs? I can merge the QUICKSTART + portmkfile fixes right now, and we can iterate on the bootstrap work separately. That way the good stuff lands immediately. Happy to help with the shared-script approach if you want to pair on it.

One more thing — the QUICKSTART and portmkfile fixes are really upstream improvements that would benefit all InferNode users. Would you consider submitting those to infernode-os/infernode as well? That's the canonical repo; our fork here carries product-specific changes. Totally fine to keep the bootstrap PR here since it's about our macOS build scripts specifically.

Thanks again for contributing — finding the devprof dependency and the QUICKSTART typo shows you were reading carefully.

Thanks for the thorough review, @pdfinn. I force-pushed this PR down to the two changes you called out as ready to merge: the QUICKSTART.md path fix and the devprof.$O: $RUNT
dependency in emu/port/portmkfile.

I’ll send the macOS bootstrap changes as a separate PR with your suggestions folded in: remove libfreetype from the loop, drop the redundant SYSTARG export, and pull the
duplicated bootstrap logic into a shared script.
