Comment (by starkhalo@…):

 Replying to [comment:1 ryandesign@…]:
 > The build fails because although you've requested an x86_64-only build,
 it's trying to compile some objects universal, for both x86_64 and i386,
 and trying to link them with the other objects that weren't built
 universal.
 >
 > This appears to be happening because it's trying to use your OS X
 version of perl, which suffers from a problem that we already fixed in the
 MacPorts versions of perl some years ago (#24779). Your OS X version of
 perl is universal, and the `-arch` flags that Apple used to build perl are
 bleeding into the rxvt-unicode build.
 >
 > The solution is to make sure rxvt-unicode's build always uses MacPorts
 perl, never OS X's perl. The portfile already specifies that it should be
 using ${prefix}/bin/perl. If you have the perl5 port installed, that
 should be a symlink to a MacPorts version of perl. Is it possible that you
 instead have /opt/local/bin/perl as a symlink to the system version of
 perl?
 >
 > rxvt-unicode should probably switch to using an explicit version of
 MacPorts perl. At this time we are still recommending that perl5.16 be
 used for that.

 Indeed my {$prefix}/bin/perl is linking to OS X's perl

 This is with `sudo port select perl perl5.12-apple.12`

 How am I supposed to fix this?

 `sudo port perl select` lists the following

 {{{
 Available versions for perl:
         none
         perl5.10-apple.12
         perl5.12-apple.12 (active)
 }}}

 But I have other perl versions installed as stated by

 `sudo port installed perl*`

 {{{
 The following ports are currently installed:
   perl5 @5.12.4_0+perl5_12 (active)
   perl5.12 @5.12.4_2
   perl5.12 @5.12.4_3
   perl5.12 @5.12.4_3+universal
   perl5.12 @5.12.5_0+universal (active)
   perl5.16 @5.16.1_3
