There is no point to starting over with a new strategy if this one is working....particularly one that would mean much more complex port files.

These projects appear to be designed to cross-compile you just have to pass the right options in. muniversal builds one architecture at a time...which is exactly what is needed for the configure scripts to work right on cross-compiling.

You'll notice muniversal has an option called merger_must_run_binaries.
Anything that needs this to be set will not cross compile.
