New description:

 The m4 port won't build for x86_64 on an ARM machine. I'm trying to set up
 an x86-only prefix for some testing.

 How to reproduce:

 Use macOS Sequoia on ARM with Rosetta installed.

 Check out 2.10.5 release from git. Configure to install in a test prefix.

 {{{
 ./configure --prefix=/opt/macports-test --with-applications-
 dir=/Applications/MacPortsTest --without-startupitems
 make
 make install
 }}}

 Fetch ports
 {{{
 /opt/macports-test/bin/port -v selfupdate
 }}}

 Edit /opt/macports-test/etc/macports/macports.conf and set build_arch to
 x86_64

 Install m4
 {{{
 /opt/macports-test/bin/port install m4
 }}}

 Installation fails:

 {{{
