Different error on Big Sur:

(presumably from the -arch ppc flag)

RubyCocoa was intending to use the 10.4u SDK to build the bundled copy of libffi only when the OS version is less than 10.5, but it was doing the version comparison as a floating point number, so OS versions 10.10 through 10.15 were seen as less than 10.5. This was fixed in ​https://github.com/rubycocoa/rubycocoa/commit/3e4c5c8d2df8e7c81a1f4c56ef597cd5da8eb0e9.

The second problem is the use of undesired -arch flags (and not UsingTheRightCompiler), both of which are in the Makefile of the bundled libffi. It only tries to make the bundled libffi on 10.5 or later if the libffi system library doesn't appear to exist in the filesystem. Of course, on macOS 11, Apple deleted all system libraries from the filesystem, keeping them only in the dylib cache, something about which this build system didn't know.

RubyCocoa 1.2.0 deletes the bundled libffi and thereby solves both problems so the port should be updated to that version, which I've done in ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/11764.
