 fox 1.6.31_0 won't build universal:

 This line added in r32069 (#13463) broke it; removing this line allows it
 to build universal (on Tiger on Intel anyway):

 {{{
 configure.ldflags-append        "-dylib_file
 /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib:/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib"
 }}}


 An additional curiosity is this section, added in r23728 (#11658):

 {{{
 if {[variant_isset universal]} {
     configure.cxxflags-append   "-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk
 -arch i386 -arch ppc"
 }
 }}}

 It's curious because it shouldn't be necessary, since "-isysroot
 ${sysroot} -arch i386 -arch ppc" is exactly what's in the variable
 configure.universal_cxxflags and that's automatically added to the
 CXXFLAGS when you use the +universal variant. The +universal variant still
 builds fine if I remove those lines from the portfile.
