 I would love if dependencies just build universal as they are supposed to,
 however this procedure is broken down as it is, and for many ports.

 It is on 10.6 PPC I am deliberately tweaking something to force things
 work which aren't supposed to. On 10.5.8 I hoped to have no need for such
 efforts.

 But Python fails for ppc64: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50821
 Cmake fails to be built universal. Glib2 fails. Freetype fails. ld64
 fails. Switching from universal to ppc64 does not solve the problem. So I
 follow @kencu suggestion to remove arch checks. What else to do?
