Comment:

 Replying to [comment:9 dClauzel]:
 > Same problem here. I can upgrade `coreutils`, but only by omitting the
 `+universal` variant.

 Yes, we know. All users who try to install coreutils or gzip with the
 universal variant will experience this problem. That's why this ticket is
 still open.

 MacPorts deliberately ignores most environment variables specified at the
 command line, so you cannot influence the `CPPFLAGS`, `LDFLAGS`, etc. that
 the port uses in this way, nor is it usually a good idea to attempt to do
 so, since ports deliberately use the flags they use. The `-m64` compiler
 flag means "build 64-bit", which is the default on 64-bit Macs running Mac
 OS X 10.6 and later. The `+universal` MacPorts variant means "build 64-bit
 and 32-bit" on 64-bit Macs, so it's nonsense to try to tell such a build
 to use `-m64`.
