Comment (by kencu):

 I wrote up all the testing code in meson and fixed it (last time I fixed
 it) to work properly on every system I tried.

 The python3 is already being reinplaced to the specific selected python
 here:

 https://github.com/macports/macports-
 ports/blob/9ee781a2cedac965098b7a5e05e00d01f9d6e1d7/devel/meson/Portfile#L143

 so this was fixed. Perhaps a few new source files need that done?

 The correct arch for the testing is all set up properly here, and worked
 just right last time I wrote it / tested it:

 https://github.com/macports/macports-
 ports/blob/9ee781a2cedac965098b7a5e05e00d01f9d6e1d7/devel/meson/Portfile#L150

 but admittedly I don't use Rosetta on 10.6.8 for anything, and don't use
 10.6-for-PPC for anything either, so there could be some weird thing
 happening with those odd systems.

 I don't think it has anything specifically to do with gcc-4.2.
