so that `nimony` won't be required for nightlies. It's annoying to build
`nimony` on each platform, e.g. `std/memfiles` which is used by `nimony`
is not supported by `nintendoswitch`
```
bin/nim compile -f --incremental:off --compileonly --gen_mapping --cc:gcc --skipUserCfg --os:nintendoswitch --cpu:arm64 -d:danger -d:gitHash:cd69f37f3a4fb46468b77b84ccf6aa3225c8895e compiler/nim.nim

(cherry picked from commit 46d4079357)
TODO list, copied from the documentation:
- [x] compiler/platform.nim Add os/cpu properties.
- [x] lib/system.nim Add os/cpu to the documentation for system.hostOS
and system.hostCPU.
- [x] ~~compiler/options.nim Add special os/cpu property checks in
isDefined.~~ seems unnecessary; isn't dont for most CPUs
- [x] compiler/installer.ini Add os/cpu to Project.Platforms field.
- [x] lib/system/platforms.nim Add os/cpu.
- [x] ~~std/private/osseps.nim Add os specializations.~~
- [x] ~~lib/pure/distros.nim Add os, package handler.~~
- [x] ~~tools/niminst/makefile.nimf Add os/cpu compiler/linker flags.~~
already done in https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/20943
- [x] tools/niminst/buildsh.nimf Add os/cpu compiler/linker flags.
For csource:
- [x] have compiler/platform.nim updated
- [x] have compiler/installer.ini updated
- [x] have tools/niminst/buildsh.nimf updated
- [x] have tools/niminst/makefile.nimf updated
- [ ] be backported to the Nim version used by the csources
- [ ] the new csources must be pushed
- [ ] the new csources revision must be updated in
config/build_config.txt
Additionally:
- [x] check relation to https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/20943
Possible future work:
- Porting Nim to s390x-specific operating systems, notably z/OS

(cherry picked from commit f4497c6158)
closes#22369, closes#23197, closes#24385, refs #21328
According to #21328 the standard library on Unix should be installed in
`/usr/lib/nim/lib`, however the installer was not updated for this
change, hence the problem as described in
https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/23197#issuecomment-2031386896.
Have not tested if this fixes the problem but the comment heavily
implies it does. The problem is also in 2.0 so it could be backported
but I can't say for sure that it works and doesn't break anything.
(cherry picked from commit 33e455c986)
* Add comments on CPU arch detection
* Support HPPA/hppa/parisc64 CPU architecture
* Support sparc64 CPU architecture
* Update tools/niminst/makefile.nimf
Co-authored-by: Andreas Rumpf <rumpf_a@web.de>
* Remove confusing "ppc" block
The PowerPC arch is called "powerpc" in platforms.nim
The makefile shipped in release 1.6.10 populates the oFiles variable when myos=linux and mycpu=powerpc
mycpu=ppc instead leads to ``no C code generated for: [linux: ppc]. Stop``
* Handle ucpu=ppc
* Fix CPU detection for i386
Commit 787def271b breaks CPU detection for i386 on OpenBSD and probably on other platforms.
[ isOpenIndiana -eq "yes" ] always returns 0, so mycpu is always set to "amd64".
* Update buildsh.nimf
Fix accidental bashism
* Update installer.ini
Add support for powerpc64 little endian
* Update buildsh.nimf
Add support for powerpc64 little endian
* Update makefile.nimf
Add support for freebsd/powerpc64 little endian
