Comment (by vince@…):

 I agree it can seem weird, but MacPorts dependencies primarily target
 library linking, while depending on a compiler never assumes this meaning:
 no port links against compiler libs beyond STL, libfortran or other vital
 libs that are precisely affected by the --multilib flag.

 For instance, does I really need a universal llvm-3.2 to build a universal
 cctools ? No. So why should Macports force me to build a universal
 llvm-3.2 to get a universal cctools?
