Comment:

 This port is evidently using a bundled copy of
 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growl_(software) Growl], an ancient third-
 party notification system that predates the introduction of the
 Notification Center in OS X 10.8 in 2012. The bundled binary of Growl was
 compiled for Intel since Apple Silicon did not exist back then, so of
 course building keka for Apple Silicon will fail when it attempts to link
 with an Intel library.

 It also evidently uses a bundled Intel binary of
 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparkle_(software) Sparkle] which will have
 similar problems.

 This port is ancient, trying to build keka version 0.1.4.3 which was
 released in 2011.

 Keka is no longer open source. It can be purchased at https://www.keka.io

 We should remove this port.
