#72437: base check for noarch is misleading

 Priority:  Normal        |  Milestone:
Component:  base          |    Version:  2.10.6

--------------------------+--------------------
 If nothing is done about it, ports will keep being broken by someone with
 commit access and no interest to verify changes being committed.

 As an illustration: https://github.com/macports/macports-
 ports/commit/ddef877594bfe9854f61bf962a7bb3066518bad7
 Is this a noarch port? No, of course, it installs
 `/opt/local/lib/libSQLiteCpp.a`. But the base is happy if it is
 incorrectly marked as `noarch`, and complains otherwise that no mach-o
 files are being installed.

 There are a lot of ports which install static libs and headers.
