@next/swc-darwin-arm64 is duplicated in every instance of Next.JS and the size in disk is huge

Why this is a good first issue

The issue involves optimizing binary storage across multiple Next.js instances, which requires architectural changes.

AI Summary

The issue highlights that the @next/swc-darwin-arm64 binary is duplicated in every Next.js instance, leading to significant disk usage. The proposed solution involves moving the binary to a shared location, which would require changes to how Next.js handles binary dependencies. This is a complex architectural change that may impact multiple areas of the codebase.

To Reproduce

Ignore the link, just install the nextjs package

bunx create-next-app@latest

Current vs. Expected behavior

Right now the binary is in every instance of a Next.JS project it would be great if the binary is located in a shared route of the computer instead of having the "same" binary every time.

I don't know if this will be possible, but it will be a great improvement.
