Build fails with unrecognized command-line option '-arch' when cross-compiling

[edmorley]

Hi :-)

Has anyone seen anything like this before when cross-compiling on an M1 Mac?

This cross-compile configuration works successfully for a variety of other crates, however this is the first crate I'm using that uses CMake, so I'm not sure if it's a libz-sys specific problem, or with cross-compiling with CMake and this toolchain in general.

Steps to reproduce

1. brew install messense/macos-cross-toolchains/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl (to install this cross-compile toolchain)
2. brew install cmake (since libz-sys requires it)
3. rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
4. Ensure the new toolchain can be found:

   export CC_x86_64_unknown_linux_musl=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl-gcc
   export CXX_x86_64_unknown_linux_musl=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl-g++
   export AR_x86_64_unknown_linux_musl=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl-ar
   export CARGO_TARGET_X86_64_UNKNOWN_LINUX_MUSL_LINKER=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl-gcc

5. cargo new testcase-libz-sys-cross-compile && cd_
6. cargo build --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl

Expected

The build completes successfully (like it does on this machine, when not cross-compiling).

Actual

The build fails with:

   Compiling pkg-config v0.3.24

Upgrading from CMake 3.22.3 to the newly released 3.23.0 (both installed via brew), doesn't help.

I don't suppose anyone has ideas of what to try next? :-)
