Your start up error running Xcode 6.4 on Monterey:

Exception Type:  EXC_CRASH (STGABRT)
Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000
Exceotion Note:  EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY

Termination Reason:  Namespace DYLD, Code 1 Library missing
Librarv not loaded: '/usr/lib/libauto_dylib'
Reason: tried: '/usr/lib/libauto_dylib' (no such file), '' (no such file)

Xcode 6.4 released with support for High Sierra forward. Big Sur had some major changes, one of which is removing /usr/lib/libauto_dylib.

In short, there is no way to run Xcode 6.4 on Apple Silicon

Also, should you be able to compile the linked TattieBogle Xbox 360 Driver, it has a notice:

As of December 28, 2020, there are not plans to add Big Sur support, including Apple Silicon support. It will most likely not work on Big Sur.

The reason it will most likely not work are many, but much of the kernel driver/extension features changed in Big Sur forward. So even if you did get it compiled, it still would not load on Monterey.
