Comment:

 I believe this bug only arose because you were building with clang on
 PowerPC, which does not work, so let's call this a duplicate of #55473.

 MacPorts offers users the choice to configure for what architecture(s)
 they want to build. This feature only works if the port ensures that
 `-arch` flags are supplied to the build where needed. MacPorts has offered
 this feature since Intel Macs became a thing in 2006. We have no plans to
 remove this feature.
