In the muniversal PortGroup and the base code changes I am finally getting
close to finishing, having multiple architecture specifications
(as in your example) would be a bug (it should never happen).

For a few examples (e.g. gmp) something like -arch ppc64 -m64 could happen,
but I do not believe that is a problem.

The choice then is between one -arch ... or one -mXX.
It seems to me -mXX should be the default for the reasons outlined in
