At some high level of generality, there are two ways we could determine the machine type:* 1. We could predict ahead of time what it will be; or 2. We can ask the `scheme` executable we actually have. Trying to predict is easy to get wrong, because there's more than one possible machine type for a given system: currently that's true due to "--threads", and it will be even more true with "portable bytecode" back-ends. The `scheme` executable we're compiling with knows the definitive answer. This lets us remove the only use of 'nix-system->chez-machine'. > What about cross-compilation? I remembered this backwards; it should be `(#%$target-machine)` rather than `(machine-type)`. I'll fix that. But note that upstream stex does not support cross-compilation (though I hope to fix that one day). For example, both `Makefile` and `Mf-stex` contain: m := $(shell echo '(machine-type)' | $(Scheme) -q) (* To some extent there's an XY problem here: we don't care about the machine type per se, we care about the extension of intermediate object files we don't want to have installed, analogous to ".o" files. I think [1] upstream may have incidentally fixed the issues that made us build in that odd way, but it hasn't been part of a release yet. I plan to reevaluate before Racket 8.6, when we'll need [2] anyway to fix a bug exposed by Zuo.) -Philip [1]: https://github.com/dybvig/stex/pull/5 [2]: https://github.com/dybvig/stex/pull/6
