Comment (by jeremyhu@…):

 Replying to [ticket:37463 vince@…]:
 > When building llvm-3.2 I get this error:

 Attach main.log

 > Besides, the ‘universal’ variant should not mean building a universal
 compiler, but building a compiler than can compile for both i386/x86-64,
 which is the default case. The classical meaning of ‘universal’ should be
 transferred to some other variant.

 No.  +universal means that the built binaries will run on either machine.
 This is true for *all* ports.  Making it have a different meaning (ie
 CTARGET rather than CHOST) for toolchain ports is nonsensical.
 Furthermore, there is no reason to care about CTARGET for llvm because it
 is not as restricted as gcc and can support multiple targets with the same
 build.
