When we use a custom --system arg, we want Nix to also be able to utilize it’s native architecture for builds. The best use case for this is M1 macOS users who want to prefer x86_64 for compatibility, but sometimes use aarch64-darwin too. They can now add: system = x86_64-darwin to $HOME/.config/nix/nix.conf without sacrificing ability to build aarch64-darwin.
