Comment (by ryandesign):
Recall when I said:
Replying to [comment:1 ryandesign]:
> Using the muniversal portgroup can cause new issues and some ports may
require additional changes beyond just adding the portgroup.
The portfile says:
{{{
configure.env-append \
PERL_EXT_CFLAGS=[get_canonical_archflags cc] \
PERL_EXT_LDFLAGS=[get_canonical_archflags ld]
}}}
I don't think this can work correctly with the muniversal portgroup.
And you've included the portgroup conditionally. It can be hard enough to
make a port build correctly without the muniversal portgroup, or with the
muniversal portgroup, but making a port work correctly whether or not the
portgroup is included is an additional challenge. I don't know if we've
attempted to do that in any other ports but it seems like unnecessary
extra difficulty.
