Error installing p5-net-libidn

I ran into a small problem with that command, in that grep ran into a few binary files, or so it thought.  I do not know what the -- in grep does, I could not find it in the man page.  I did add --text to process binary files as text, coming up with this:

    port contents $PORTNAME | sed 1d | xargs grep --text -- ' -arch '

I little find and replace, and I had a small script:

#!/bin/bash

	port contents $PORTNAME  | sed 1d | xargs grep --text -- ' -arch '
	echo "------------ DONE $PORTNAME -------------------------------";
	echo "";

I too have apr installed.

Maybe you can help me refine the grep command, or better understand what it is I am looking for.  If apr is a base for the problem, and I am grepping for ' -arch ', then it would appear there are a lot of ports with this issue:

I am happy to file the tickets, but I need to understand how to narrow it down to the ones that matter.
