   NACK. x86_64-apple-darwin18 is the correct triplet. It's aligned with macOS 10.14, which is our minimum supported version.

   @fanquake what about the macOS arm triplet?

   what about the macOS arm triplet?

   That should be fine to add. Can you make it arm-apple-darwin20? I have no hardware to test any of those builds, but I think @jonasschnelli has been doing them.

    Shouldn't that be aarch64? arm is 32 bit ARM

    When compiling it on a mac, arm-apple-darwin works. It should be aarch64, I agree, but somehow it's not.

    What about for cross-compiling then?

    jonasschnelli commented at 8:16 AM on March 11, 2021: contributor

    AFAIK arm-apple-darwin20 cross compilation does currently not work due to cctools/etc. not supporting it. We should add it in the same patch as adding apple-arm cross compilation support in the toolchain.

    I've combined your commit into #21851, as it makes most sense to add the triplet when cross-compiling works.
