#20790 macOS arm64 CI runner is running an i386 shell by default & ARCHFLAGS isn't working Issue created by huonw Describe the bug In #20765, we discovered that the old

psutil==5.9.0

dependency was being built to a wheel incorrectly on Apple Silicon: the native code was ending up as x86-64, rather than arm64. There's two layers to this bug: 1. the CI steps attempt to set

ARCHFLAGS='-arch arm64'

but these seemed to stop working in release_2.17.0.dev5...release_2.17.0a0 (see #20765 (comment) for analysis) 2. the runner is defaulting to i386/x86-64 shell (etc.) by default, rather than arm64 (a freshly installed self-hosted runner on my M1 laptop runs in arm64 shells by default: see #20765 (comment) for analysis) Fixing 2 is arguably the better fix, as then the runner will be doing the right thing by default. If we fix this via 1, we need to make sure all uses of this runner apply the flags when they build things (this includes in scie-pants). This can be confirmed by running commands like: •

arch

=> outputs

i386

, should output

arm64

•

echo 'int main() { return 0; }' > test.c && clang test.c -o test && file test

(compile some C code) => outputs

test: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

, should output

... arm64
