Comment(by dluke@…):

 Replying to [comment:11 toby@…]:
 > I hardly think this type of thing qualifies as an upstream bug.

 I would strongly disagree. This is the kind of thing that's really only
 appropriately handled by the originating project because they're the ones
 in the position to know what assumptions are made by the configuration
 process and where they impact the code. We can, of course, patch things in
 macports, but ideally changes to fix building should get pushed upstream
 so that the macports modifications are not necessary.

 > The autotools infrastructure just isn't set up to handle multiple-arch
 building

 There's nothing preventing anyone from using autotools to do multi-arch
 builds, and unless upstream is totally uninterested in incorporating
 changes to make things work, I don't know why we would be hostile to
 getting things fixed there.

 > (understandably, since that's only Mac OS X). It's pretty easy to work
 around, see r42691 for a simple example of how to correct configure's
 output after the fact.

 Yes, it's not hard to use macports to patch things. Of course, in that
 revision you add a dependency on ed instead of using patch (which macports
 already requires).
