#66197: defect: arm-none-eabi-gdb won't install on arm64 Macs
-------------------------+-------------------------------
 Reporter:  the80srobot  |      Owner:  (none)
     Type:  defect       |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal       |  Milestone:
Component:  ports        |    Version:  2.8.0
 Keywords:               |       Port:  arm-none-eabi-gdb
-------------------------+-------------------------------
 Installing `arm-none-eabi-gdb` on an M1 Mac doesn't get past the
 dependency check. It looks to me like the port insists on being `x86_64`,
 as do some other ports (see below). The problem is, one of the port's
 dependencies insists on being `arm64`?

 This definitely seems like a bug - I promise I didn't do anything weird.

 {{{
 > sudo port -v install arm-none-eabi-gdb --helpport clean
 --->  Computing dependencies for arm-none-eabi-gdb.
 Error: Cannot install arm-none-eabi-gdb for the arch 'x86_64' because
 Error: its dependency arm-none-eabi-gcc does not build for the required
 arch by default
 Error: and does not have a universal variant.
 Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets if you believe
 there is a bug.
 Error: Processing of port arm-none-eabi-gdb failed
 }}}

 `build_arch` is set:

 {{{
 > grep build_arch /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf
 #build_arch             x86_64
 build_arch arm64
 }}}

 System is `arm64`:

 {{{

 }}}

 Other ports correctly install as arm64, except some weirdo ports:
