multiple arch flags won't work with -E

[James Gregurich]

yes. I am aware of that one. I've seen in used in terms of running tests in icu. I had to switch it off for the cross-compile of icu. when configured with --host, icu requires a native build to be specified and it runs the tests as part of the native build.

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.
