If you just strip all the muniversal shenanigans out of the Portfile, it
builds just fine universal on BigSur Intel without any fuss.

The i386/x86_64 universal build looks fine too, so far, with all the
muniveral stuff out.
Now -- have to see why it was ever put in there in the first place, I guess.

One of the typical sources of trouble with "natural universal" builds is

Things have become a little simpler there -- as we have no compiler in

time, convincing everyone you DON'T need it after that is much harder than
