 [svn rev. 39307]
 Darwin 9

 The port does not build on x86_64 due to 2 different issues:
 1 - Similar to what was reported on
 [https://trac.macports.org/ticket/15635], there is a core dump while
 building with pthreads configured.

 ----

 2 - Configure does not set a value for EXTLDFLAGS what leads to have
 libruby.1.8.7.dylibld linked for i386 while the objects were compiled
 x86_64 (or fat).

 {{{

 and the eventual error:

 {{{

 }}}


 In order to have the port installed I had to patch both the Portfile and
 the Makefile.in (files attached to the ticket).
 For the sake of simplicity a x86_64 variant was created instead of having
 'fixed' the universal.
