Description
For cost reasons, we can cross-compile macos binaries on linux. Historically we didn't do this because of a problem with Go that has since been resolved: #3267.
This step removes the verification of Darwin binaries. I believe this is acceptable since the vast majority of users and on Linux and Windows. Developers will naturally test the Darwin build during the development cycle.
