Comment:

 Since merger_host can always be set to override the default, the basic
 question seems to be:[[BR]]
 what is the best default value for host on each architecture?

 muniversal only sets the host value during PowerPC/Intel cross-
 compilation.

 I see now that core2-apple-darwin was a bad default choice.[[BR]]
 Almost every port will reject it.[[BR]]
 gmp, however, uses it to create a better build than the more generic i386
 -apple-darwin.

 In r46000, I changed the default host value for the different
 architectures to:
 {{{
 powerpc-apple-darwin
 powerpc64-apple-darwin
 i386-apple-darwin
 x86_64-apple-darwin
 }}}

 Thanks for pointing this out.[[BR]]
 Does this change satisfy your concerns?
