Xcode and Catalina **NEW MBP**

For anyone else who gets to fight through this before a new LC comes out:
This is not an OS upgrade, this is a new box, with monterey preinstalled.
I used the Time Machine method for setting up this box
That brought over multiple copies of XCode, including 12.5 and 12.5.1
Building with LC throws an error using 12.5.1, regarding the command-line
tools, which implies that they are not installed - which is weird, since
they are installed on the other box for each of the versions of XCode, and
I can build, over there.
Trying to launch XC 12.5.1 throws an error about versioning.
Trying to launch XC 12.5.1 from the terminal seems to work (ignoring all
the warnings, etc.), but it does not trigger XCode to reinstall the
command-line tools.
Trying to use sudo xcode-select --switch <path> throws an error that the
version is invalid. If you are trying to play along at home, the path will
be something like /Applications/XCode-12.5.1/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
I guess the next thing to do is to try to download and reinstall 12.5.1
from the Apple Developer site.

   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
