 thunderbird-x11 fails to compile.  I just did a "`sudo port -d sync`".

 Relevant log is below.  For some reason, it seems to be compiling now.o
 for 32-bit instead of 64-bit.

Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Yes, the intention is that thunderbird-x11 be compiled 32-bit; that's the
 purpose of the line "supported_archs i386 ppc" in the portfile. The
 surprising part, and the reason the build fails, is that when trying to
 create "now" from "now.o", it's forgetting to use the -arch flags that
 were used in every previous step, thus it's trying to make "now" 64-bit,
 which of course won't work because "now.o" is 32-bit as it should be.

 Unfortunately this port has no maintainer so someone will have to
 volunteer to figure out what's wrong and submit a patch.
