cppcheck does not respect build_arch or have universal variant

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

cppcheck does not respect the user's build_arch setting in macports.conf; here the result of trying to build for i386 on a 64-bit Snow Leopard machine (where the default would be x86_64):

ld: warning: in /i386-10.6-mp/lib/libpcre.dylib, file was built for i386 which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64)
Undefined symbols:
  "_pcre_free", referenced from:
      CppCheck::checkFile(std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&, char const*)in cppcheck.o
  "_pcre_exec", referenced from:
      CppCheck::checkFile(std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&, char const*)in cppcheck.o

ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [cppcheck] Error 1

At the same time that this is fixed, a universal variant should be added, if possible.

Shall fix. Thanks.

Have you come up with a fix for this yet?

Pete Johns replied by email:

I haven't. Can you point me at some documentation on how to do these?

Not sure we have any documentation actually, but search through other portfiles for "get_canonical_archflags" for some examples.
