What version of Go are you using (go version)?

$ go version
go version go1.18.2 darwin/amd64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

This bug is in cmd/gomobile, and is reproducible with the latest commit on that.

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

go env Output
$ go env
GOARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTOS="darwin"
GOVERSION="go1.18.2"
GCCGO="gccgo"
GOAMD64="v1"

What did you do?

I was trying to build an ios framework with gomobile that also includes C dependencies. I need to set CGO_CXXFLAGS and CGO_LDFLAGS to get the build working.

CGO_ENABLED=1 CGO_LDFLAGS="<flags>" CGO_CXXFLAGS="<flags>" gomobile bind -target ios/arm64,iossimulator/amd64 -iosversion 9.3.0 ./cmd/app

What did you expect to see?

gomobile should forward the values of CGO_CXXFLAGS and CGO_LDFLAGS to rest of the build process (gobind, go build, etc.) This does happen when building for Android, but not when targeting ios.

What did you see instead?

The CGO_CXXFLAGS, CGO_LDFLAGS, etc. variables get overwritten by values that are required to introduce system dependencies for ios.

This was causing my build to break.

Ideally, these new values introduced by gomobile should be appended to values already in the environment. I tried out this change that resolves this issue.
