Comment (by mascguy):

 Replying to [comment:10 ryandesign]:
 > Not really. The commits there only apply the fix when the build_arch is
 i386, which is not the case when building universal on an x86_64 system.
 Why was the condition on build_arch thought to be necessary? The
 [changeset:76b5fb575d6c90432dde388a8e1562e8ef72287b/macports-ports
 previous fix I committed five years ago] was unconditional and as far as I
 know has been fine, they've just now apparently changed the mechanism by
 which it needs to be specified (configure arg now instead of variable).

 > It was suggested in comment:ticket:55643:14 that the fix in coreutils
 should be conditional, and the findutils port does make it conditional,
 but it is able to do so because it uses the muniversal portgroup, which
 coreutils does not (and introducing the muniversal portgroup can cause
 other problems hence it should not be used indiscriminately).

 Still wrapping my head around Universal-related details, but slowly
 getting there.

 And thanks for the heads-up, I'll take a look.
