#40003: wgrib2: build fails when nonexistent universal variant is selected
--------------------------+-----------------------
 Reporter:  ryandesign@…  |      Owner:  takeshi@…
     Type:  defect        |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal        |  Milestone:
Component:  ports         |    Version:  2.2.0
 Keywords:  haspatch      |       Port:  wgrib2
--------------------------+-----------------------
 The wgrib2 port advertises no universal variant:

 {{{
 $ port variants wgrib2
 wgrib2 has the variants:
    g95: build iplib with g95 (alpha)
      * conflicts with gcc44 gcc45 gcc46 gcc47 gcc48
    gcc44: build iplib with gcc44 (alpha)
      * conflicts with g95 gcc45 gcc46 gcc47 gcc48
    gcc45: build iplib with gcc45 (alpha)
      * conflicts with g95 gcc44 gcc46 gcc47 gcc48
    gcc46: build iplib with gcc46 (alpha)
      * conflicts with g95 gcc44 gcc45 gcc47 gcc48
    gcc47: build iplib with gcc47 (alpha)
      * conflicts with g95 gcc44 gcc45 gcc46 gcc48
    gcc48: build iplib with gcc48 (alpha)
      * conflicts with g95 gcc44 gcc45 gcc46 gcc47 gcc48
 }}}

 Nevertheless the port tries to build universal when I select the
 (nonexistent) universal variant, and then fails:

 {{{

 }}}

 Either add a functional universal variant (perhaps with the help of the
 muniversal portgroup or patches to the build system) or remove the parts
 of the portfile that react to the universal variant selector. The attached
 patch does the latter (and also fixes a problem where the build wasn't
 using `-arch` flags when calling the linker).
