Comment:

 Reopening, I can reproduce this, and I'm sure this issue will pop up again
 anyway.

 xsane linking fails because {{{sane-config --ldflags}}} returns both
 {{{-arch x86_64}}} and {{{-arch i386}}} when sane-backends +universal is
 installed.

 So we can't build universal because of gimp2, but non-universal also fails
 with sane-backends +universal. What now?

 1. Hack xsane's Makefile to *not* use {{{sane-config --ldflags}}}

 2. Declare {{{universal_variant no}}} for sane-backends by default

 3. Investigate what needs to be done to get gimp2 +universal working. At
 first glance it looks like disabling the universal variant goes back to
 when there were issues with boost +universal (due to
 gimp2->gegl->libopenraw->boost). This was apparently fixed in r58798
 (#21408), so this might be just about removing some {{{universal_variant
 no}}}.

 Obviously, 3. would be the preferred solution. I'm currently only on a G4
 PowerBook here, so you probably understand I'm not that eager to rebuild
 gimp2 and all of its dependencies.  Maybe somebody else has a couple of
 CPU cycles to spare and try?
