Comment (by barracuda156):

 Replying to [comment:1 ryandesign]:
 > There are many occurrences of "x86" in the log, suggesting to me that
 the build system needs more than just `-arch` flags to tell it what
 architectures to build for.

 Yeah, I noticed that, but could not figure out how to fix it. I got only
 `ppc` as build arch in settings, I even tried to specify it directly when
 calling `sudo port -v install`, to no effect.

 > The port already uses the muniversal portgroup and includes these lines
 to assist with that process for ppc64:

 > array set merger_host {
 >     ppc64 powerpc-apple-darwin

 Tried, same failure:
