Comment:

 Building legacy support universal would not solve this problem, it would
 just delay the problem until later and/or make it more difficult to
 detect, since as you say, the problem isn't legacy support's
 architectures; the problem is the architectures for which go is trying to
 build.

 I don't know how go builds work but:

 > {{{

 I'm guessing this is MacPorts trying to inform the build system to do a
 32-bit build.

 I'm guessing this is the build system acknowledging that request.

 Things appear to have gone wrong by this point but I don't know why.

 If we're going to be interested in fixing 10.6 problems, then we should be
 more interested in fixing 32-bit-specific 10.6 problems, since there are
 32-bit Intel Macs for which 10.6 is the last OS they can use, whereas
 every 64-bit Intel Mac can be upgraded to at least 10.7.
