gconf @2.32.0: universal variant fails to compile

[watsodw]

Upgrading to latest gconf fails with error:

Yes, I agree, gconf's universal variant is broken with version 2.32.0. The actual relevant error from the log is not what you pasted, but:

:info:build ld: warning: in ./.libs/libgconf-2.dylib, file was built for i386 which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64)

You can install it non-universal for now, or if you need universal, revert to the previous version.

gconf has been reverted to the previous version for other reasons.
