Comment (by kencu):

 well, I just took out the {{{merger_must_run_binaries yes}}} line, and
 built it on a BigSur Intel machine:
 {{{
 sudo port -v -s install readline +universal
 }}}
 and got:
 {{{
 % port -v installed readline
 The following ports are currently installed:
   readline @8.1.000_0+universal (active) platform='darwin 20' archs='arm64
 x86_64' date='2021-02-08T16:50:59-0800'
 }}}

 and
 {{{
 % file /opt/local/lib/libreadline.8.1.dylib
 /opt/local/lib/libreadline.8.1.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 2
 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library
 x86_64] [arm64:Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library arm64]
 /opt/local/lib/libreadline.8.1.dylib (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O
 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64
 /opt/local/lib/libreadline.8.1.dylib (for architecture arm64):  Mach-O
 64-bit dynamically linked shared library arm64
 }}}

 So -- I'm not sure about when this was actually broken, or what might have
 changed since then, but it all works now, it seems.

 I'm not inclined at present to see what happens on a 10.5 PPC machine, as
 nothing realistically builds ppc/i386 on a PPC Leopard system anyway at
 present.

 But if somebody really, really, really cares, then they can work on fixing
 that system.
