gnu-config standardized on aarch64 for machine name so host_cpu part of $system will always be aarch64. That means system will be aarch64-darwin too. uname however could report either “aarch64” (if gnu coreutils) or “arm64” (if apple’s uname). We should support both for compatiblity here.

Apple put my m1 mbp in the Post today. Will test before installing. |

Yes, the com.apple.oahd.plist does not exists on a new mbp m1. I just did ls on that path, but either ways, LGTM |

Thanks, merged! |

I've opened a PR on my fork at abathur#1 to hopefully bait some discussion about whether or not the installer should install rosetta automatically (and how). |

Check for "rosetta 2" on ARM64 macOS first. Otherwise, installation will fail with:
Bad CPU type in executable
when running nix-store during later installation. This should be a safe check, but will need someone without rosetta 2 to verify this works as expected first (I've now installed it after setting up my new system).
