Comment (by biggreenogre):

 I encountered the same issue this morning on MacOS 15.7.5, updating port
 from 2.12.4 to 2.12.5

 > why are you building with the universal variant?
 I have never explictly installed with `+universal`.
 The current port installion is the second time that I have transfered the
 port configuration to a new Macbook. The original install was on an x86
 Macbook, the second an early M1 processor and the current host has an M4.
 I suspect that the `+universal` flag was introduced on Macbook 1 or 2 then
 ported (no pun intended) to the current system.
 There will be more than 2 of us out here.

 It took me about 4 hours, treading carefully, to install `-universal`
 variants and remove the `+universal` ones.

 If it helps anyone, it would be a lot faster to ''start'' with `glib2` and
 its dependencies rather than leaving it to the end as I did.
