📄 Description

Created this fork a while back as part of this issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/1016

There are still users of Intel Macs with AMD GPUs and while macOS support for Intel machines is being deprecated by Apple, these machines still exist and will stay in use. people still like to use macOS, and it will still have Security support for quite a while (plus I highly suspect it'll live on some way or another, although thats a whole other thing...)

Seems like users are happy with my fork, its had a number of stars and no real reported issues over the past few months, so I'm happy to contribute this upstream at this stage, it should not cause issues for other users.

Note: even if this is merged in no way does this mean Ollama will need to produce binaries,
but it means people will be able to build it if they want it from source while ensuring it'll stay synced with upstream.
