cc: error: unrecognized command-line option: '-arch'

[simbleau]

For cross-compliation from Linux -> MacOS, I've tried compiling a simple crate only depending on wgpu and running cargo build --target x86_64-apple-darwin

I've also tried using cross for compilation and wgpu seems to be the only source of this issue. Apparently -arch is a CLI from Apple's version of GCC which is non standard and probably shouldn't be used if possible.

Here's what I always get,

   Compiling wgpu-core v0.13.2
The following warnings were emitted during compilation:

warning: cc: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-arch’

This doesn't seem to be an issue in wgpu, please open an issue over on the objc_exception repo (there seems to be one already opened that's related to cross compilation but I think it's different than this one).
