gnustep-make gets wrong archflags due to not setting configure.compiler

[lisfolks.lists@…]

I am getting the same gnustep-make config error described in Frank's messages referenced below. I have attached my config.log file, which also indicates the -arch command line error. I'm using an Intel-based MacBook Pro running Leopard 10.5.8. --LeAnne Lis

-arch command line error from config.log:

configure:2398: gcc-mp-4.2 -O2 -arch i386 -I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib conftest.c >&5

cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-arch"

After sudo port selfupdate, I tried installing gnustep with the following result:
