 without icu +universal after subverting MacPorts arch checking code was
 indeed not working, so you should uninstall that libxml2 +universal and we
 need to focus on getting icu to build universal first.

 Thank you. I can confirm that glib2 builds for ppc-32 after activating
 libxml2 ppc-32 on 10.5.8.


 {{{
 36-225:~ svacchanda$ port -v installed glib2
 The following ports are currently installed:
   glib2 @2.62.6_2+x11 requested_variants='-universal' platform='darwin 9'
 archs='ppc' date='2021-12-22T12:28:22+0800'
   glib2 @2.64.6_0+x11 (active) requested_variants='' platform='darwin 9'
 archs='ppc' date='2021-12-29T16:07:42+0800'
 }}}


 (For some reason the same fails on 10.6 PPC, but that's my problem to fix
 that.)

 Could you advise me what to do about universal icu? Both gcc6 and gcc7
 seem to be broken on Macports for ppc64. Apple gcc fails to build icu
 universal either.
