Description:
If you check https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/nim#n37 (lines from 37 to 40), you can see that the PKGBUILD adds the compilation flags to the Nim configuration (and for some reason in compiler/nim.cfg too although that's not needed since it'll use flags from the config/nim.cfg too).

The problem is - if these flags are not removed after building the compiler and all tools, the user wouldn't be able to cross-compile using GCC since Nim would always add flags like "-march=x86_64 -mtune=generic" (which were added in the PKGBUILD) to any GCC cross-compilers.

Proposed solution:
Remove these flags from the nim.cfg after building the compiler and all tools.

Initially reported in a Nim Telegram group (starts at https://t.me/nim_lang/38313)

To reproduce, you can install nim package itself and any cross-compiler (such as aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc), then make a hello world file like:

# hello.nim
echo "Hello world"

And try to cross-compile it with nim c --cpu:arm64 --gcc.exe="aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc" --gcc.linkerexe="aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc" hello.nim
It'll fail because -march=x86_64 -mtune=generic were passed to aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc
