What did you do?

Tried to build using the above environment configuration and the result was an archive that was both armv7 and armv7s.

nm libvcb.a | grep armv7
libvcb.a(go.o) (for architecture armv7):
libvcb.a(000000.o) (for architecture armv7s):

What did you expect to see?

A fully armv7s archive file.

What did you see instead?

An armv7s archive file that was both armv7 and armv7s.

I don't see an option for GOARM that is 7s, but that's essentially what i'm looking for.

I'm not very familiar with different ARM architectures. The cmd/go documentation at https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Environment_variables says that the only valid values for GOARM environment variable are 5, 6, and 7. 7s is not a supported value.

Documentation for build modes at https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Build_modes does not say anything ARM-specific about -buildmode=c-archive.

armv7s is the slightly altered configuration of the armv7 architecture Apple introduced with the iPhone5 specifically for the Bionic A6 SoC. However, upon further investigation it seems that armv7 code runs on the A6, meaning you don't "need" the armv7s architecture.

I'm not sure if there are other use cases for armv7s, but for iOS it seems that it is not a requirement.
