Comment (by barracuda156):

 Replying to [comment:9 ryandesign]:
 > I'm sorry that you're having trouble building ports universal, but I
 cannot let a blanket statement that universal builds are "broken down as
 it is" stand. For many, many years, up to macOS 10.13, I kept "+universal"
 in my variants.conf and spent many, many hours making fixes to ports to
 ensure that they build universal. ppc i386 universal builds are of course
 different from x86_64 i386 universal builds, and when you are using
 gcc-4.2 that is of course a different compiler from clang which may result
 in different problems that need their own fixes.

 Since building python as universal (ppc+ppc64) is finally fixed now,
 apparently, I should get fewer errors with dependencies. Once I rebuild
 three versions of python, I will look into what remains broken.

 > 10.6 was not released for PowerPC; attempting to use a prerelease 10.6
 PPC build may result in encountering other issues nobody else has
 encountered that you may need to investigate and submit fixes for, if
 you're interested.

 Sure, and I do not submit tickets against 10.6 PPC for that reason. I may
 slowly propose fixes for ports that fail on 10.6 PPC if anyone interested
 in that (kencu has done that for many ports, but his solutions did not
 make into portfiles).
