Homebrew/homebrew-core#140964 and google/brotli#655 may be related.

It seems that Brotli 1.1.0 doesn't support building both of shared libraries and static libraries. And Homebrew's brotli formula does nothing. So brotli formula 1.1.0 doesn't include static libraries of Brotli. And we hard-code -lbrotlienc-static -lbrotlidec-static -lbrotlicommon-static:

arrow/r/tools/autobrew

Line 65 in 15a8ac3

PKG_LIBS="-lparquet -larrow_dataset -larrow_acero -larrow -larrow_bundled_dependencies -lthrift -lbrotlienc-static -lbrotlidec-static -lbrotlicommon-static -llz4 -lsnappy -lzstd $AWS_LIBS -lssl -lcrypto"

Ah thanks for the investigation! As this builds the R package we can not link shared... but we are also getting rid of the autobrew path so I am not sure how much sense it makes to spend time on this?

(we should be able to use bundled brotli no?)

#37923 does not have this problem so I am closing this as not planned.
