Warnings like these can be ignored; you need to look for compiler errors.
Two notes:
1. Apple M3 has been very difficult to support. Many users report no
problems, and others can't seem to get things built. The number of
different ways to get a working compiler toolchain is rather large. I'm
assuming you have read the MacOS section in the Installation tab at the
Amber web page. If not, that might have some hints.
2. We now have a pre-built conda package for AmberTools24 on Apple Silicon.
See instructions at
https://ambermd.org/GetAmber.php. But this won't help
if you need to run pmemd.
If the conda package is not sufficient, please feel free to post the actual
error messages your are getting, and which components are failing to build.
There are a handful of M3 users that follow the list, and they may be able
to help.
...good luck...dac
