Comment (by kencu):

 one of the older llvm ports does this:
 {{{
 platform darwin {
     if {${build_arch} eq "i386"} {
         configure.pre_args-append --build=i686-apple-darwin${os.major}
     } elseif {${build_arch} eq "ppc"} {
         configure.pre_args-append --build=powerpc-apple-darwin${os.major}
     } elseif {${build_arch} eq "ppc64"} {
         configure.pre_args-append --build=powerpc64-apple-
 darwin${os.major}
     } else {
         configure.pre_args-append --build=${build_arch}-apple-
 darwin${os.major}
     }
 }
 }}}

 perhaps something along those lines is needed for a robust fix for these
 issues, although branching I think on {{{configure.build_arch}}} instead
 of {{{build_arch}}}.

 Have to see what the arm Macs want exactly, and they might need a specific
 addition as well.
