Compiling on network share kills gcc

Stumbled on a bizarre issue, and have whittled it down to this MRE:

Using a MacBook Pro with a M1 Pro running macOS 12.6.
Use Apple’s bog standard Developer Tools to compile a “Hello World” C application (originally discovered using ghc to compile Haskell - effect is the same).
Run the compiled executable. No surprises.
cd to a mounted network drive (happens to my home directory on another Mac).
Do the same thing there - now compiled executable hangs!
Okay, maybe we can’t run executables on network shares, IDK, let’s return to the local machine.
Original compiled executable still runs fine.
Let me just use the DeveloperTools to do anything new… compiled executable now hangs on local machine.
I’ve tried killing processes, logging in and out, checking the PATH, etc. Nothing gets me back to a working state short of a reboot.

…

Oh boy, now resolved. Disabling Apple ID authentication was enough. What in the name of computing-getting-worse-all-the-time is going on here?
