Well, it means my system is now "up to spec" and coherent with build 
bots. In fact, while reinstalling, all ports where quickly installed as 
a binary.

Curious indeed, it almost looks as a very old addition. Maybe even an 
oversight?

enables it for OS < 17, but I guess it was just a way of disabling it on 
i386-less system. In fact, enabling it came from this commit:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/0e5dbb8c8520a9c02e9057073e9a0f78907dc254

which enabled it unconditionally. It cites 
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50511

where some comments show confusion, but apparently it is needed to make 
the fat test suite pass. Best guess is to leave everything as is :)
