tinygo info results differ

GOARM is 6 when run on ubuntu and 7 on windows. Is this as intended?

# ubuntu 20.04
$ ./bin/tinygo version
tinygo version 0.25.0-dev-7b1e5f6 linux/amd64 (using go version go1.17.6 and LLVM version 14.0.0)

It seems to be branching here and it is 7 for windows and android. https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/blob/v0.25.0-beta1/goenv/goenv.go#L53-L66

Yes, GOARM is different but it has no effect on the binaries. It is only used when creating native linux/arm binaries. For example:

$ GOOS=windows tinygo info ""
LLVM triple:       x86_64-unknown-windows-gnu
GOOS:              windows
GOARCH:            amd64
GOARM:             7
[...]

$ GOOS=linux tinygo info ""
LLVM triple:       x86_64-unknown-linux
GOOS:              linux
GOARCH:            amd64
GOARM:             6
[...]

So, I'm not sure what to do about it. We can for example simply remove the GOARM key?

Closed because it has been resolved.
