 I've tested this with two computers running Lion 10.7.2 and the 10.7.3
 prerelease, both with Xcode 4.2.1. The 10.7.3 machine was a completely
 clean MacPorts installation; I just installed MacPorts and then did "sudo
 port selfupdate" and "sudo port install gdbm +universal".

 Searching for information, I found
 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8372001/macports-error-when-installing-
 gdbm which appears (at least at first glance) to be the same problem, but
 the reporter doesn't seem to have filed a ticket.

 I've tried passing alternate values for configure.compiler, and get what
 appears to be the same error.

 I can build the source distribution by following the instructions in the
 INSTALL file (the usual passing CC="gcc -arch i386 -arch x86_64" etc. to
 configure). The result is a universal binary that passes make check, and
 seems to work in a quick test from both 32-bit and 64-bit builds after
 installing it to /usr/local.

 I tried figuring out the log output. There seem to be lots of harmless
 errors that occur in any project with .la files (e.g., a slew of errors
 from cp, lipo -info, etc.), and no indication of what the real error is...
 but it could be that the dependency_libs entries are different in the 32-
 and 64-bit versions of the .la file, possibly because somehow libiconv got
 picked up by the 64-bit configure but not the 32-bit one (even though I
 seem to have libiconv @1.14_0+universal)? I could be way off target here,
 but:
 {{{

 Anyway, build log attached.
