Pass deployment target when linking with cc on Apple targets

When linking macOS targets with cc, pass the `-mmacosx-version-min=.`
option to specify the desired deployment target. Also, no longer pass
`-m32`/`-m64`, these are redundant since we already pass `-arch`.

When linking with cc on other Apple targets, always pass `-target`.
(We assume for these targets that cc => clang).
