Arch Linux

Description:

Cross-compiler flags do not work properly with this packaged version of Nim. Works fine when installing from choosenim script.

Additional info:
* package version(s)

1.6.10

* link to upstream bug report, if any

https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/16204#issuecomment-756647592

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install Nim on Arch linux

2. Install ARM cross-compilation toolchain

$ pacman -S aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc aarch64-linux-gnu-glibc aarch64-linux-gnu-binutils aarch64-linux-gnu-gdb aarch64-linux-gnu-glibc aarch64-linux-gnu-linux-api-headers

3. Compile a hello world file invoking that toolchain

# hello.nim
echo "Hello, World"

$ nim c --cpu:arm64 --os:linux --arm64.linux.gcc.exe:aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc --arm64.linux.gcc.linkerexe:aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc hello.nim

Error: unknown architecture `x86-64'

4. Remove packaged Nim, install choosenim

pacman -R nim
curl https://nim-lang.org/choosenim/init.sh -sSf | sh

5. Compile again

$ nim c --cpu:arm64 --os:linux --arm64.linux.gcc.exe:aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc --arm64.linux.gcc.linkerexe:aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc hello.nim
