Comment (by kencu):
maxima should not be labelled as failing to build universal itself,
unless it is known that can’t.
If it’s a subport that won’t build universal, like sbcl, the subport will
say so, like it already does, and prevent the attempt.
Otherwise, if and when the subport is made to build universal, all the
dependents are still needlessly still labelled as having no universal
variant, and you have a mess to clean up. Nobody knows then what will or
won’t build universal, or what’s been tested or not.
There’s no “error” to fix here. Thousands of ports don’t build universal.
However, as an enhancement someday, if possible, someone can try on a
current system, not Leopard i386, to see if sbcl can be made to build
universal. If it can be, all the dependent ports may then start build
universal too (unless other universal isdues then show up).
If someone tries and fails to build sbcl universally on a current system,
and wants some help in so doing, they could attach a log and new
information, as I said. That could be attched to this ticket, although
this ticket is 15 years old and a new ticket relevant to the current world
would have been my preference.
But obviously, I took a slap there for cleaning up ancient stale tickets.
