 Replying to [comment:2 barracuda156]:
 > There must be some Macports `.tcl` file somewhere which handles build-
 host-target, linker and assembler assignment, I will try to find it.

 Not that I recall. Apple's position is that it is a mistake for build
 systems to rely on build-host-target, but many developers on non-Apple
 platforms haven't gotten that memo.
