Approved with the comment that I don't think the TARGET_ARCH should be modified
in a build script, but since this is the current setup, it is probably the most
pragmatic approach.
I had a look how it is done in the JDK (flags.m4)
if test "x$OPENJDK_TARGET_OS" = xmacosx; then
if test "x$OPENJDK_TARGET_CPU" = xaarch64; then
MACHINE_FLAG="$MACHINE_FLAG -arch arm64"
The TARGET_CPU is never changed, and the MACHINE_FLAG is the one being passed
to the compiler. That looks cleaner to me.
I would prefer to have a single value of TARGET_CPU that is the same for
Linux/AArch64, macOS/AArch64 and win/AArch64, but since we already semantic
overloading in build.gradle, I won't object the current change.
