macOS systems with ARM64 can utilize a translation layer at /Library/Apple/usr/libexec/oah to run x86_64 binaries. This change makes Nix recognize that and it to "extra-platforms". Note that there are two cases here since Nix could be built for either x86_64 or aarch64. In either case, we can switch to the other architecture. Unfortunately there is not a good way to prevent aarch64 binaries from being run in x86_64 contexts or vice versa - programs can always execute programs for the other architecture. |
