Description of Change

Our macOS CI machines are arm64 and we cross-compile for the x64 builds, but by not setting host_cpu we're getting the default of x64 and have to fix some sync issues unnecessarily. Switching this lets us drop some of these fix sync issues and ensures we don't run any binaries under Rosetta.

Looks to maybe save tens of seconds on the fix sync step for macOS builds, and potentially more savings for release builds which are currently running dsymutil under Rosetta.
