failure to link most programs on Leopard

This is a fairly common error when linking 32 bit software

You fix it with something like this, from the x265 Portfile


========

if {[variant_exists universal] && [variant_isset universal]} {
    lappend merger_configure_ldflags(i386) -Wl,-read_only_relocs,suppress
} else {
    if {${build_arch} eq "i386"} {
        configure.ldflags-append -Wl,-read_only_relocs,suppress
    }
}

===========


I notice that block ignores “ppc” which also tends to throw the same error, being 32bit as well.


I’m not positive, but I think at one point in time macports base added this flag to most or all builds, but that went by the wayside when most builds became 64bit intel.
