root@mighty-> port install emacs ---> Computing dependencies for emacs Error: Cannot install gdbm for the archs 'arm64 x86_64' because Error: its dependency readline cannot build for the required archs. Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.
I have, however, built readline just fine as an arm64 library, so I'm not sure where it is flagged as unbuildable for this arch combination (I also looked at the readline/Portfile and I don't see any limitations flagged there). Not sure what's up with this, but as readline is a very key leaf port, it is probably worth fixing.

well, I just took out the merger_must_run_binaries yes
line, and built it on a BigSur Intel machine:
sudo port -v -s install readline +universal
and got:
% port -v installed readline The following ports are currently installed: readline @8.1.000_0+universal (active) platform='darwin 20' archs='arm64 x86_64' date='2021-02-08T16:50:59-0800'
and
% file /opt/local/lib/libreadline.8.1.dylib /opt/local/lib/libreadline.8.1.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64] [arm64:Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library arm64] /opt/local/lib/libreadline.8.1.dylib (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64 /opt/local/lib/libreadline.8.1.dylib (for architecture arm64): Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library arm64
This was last looked at about seven years ago, when a ppc/i386 build broke on LeopardPPC. But whatever that was about, it works now:
file libreadline.8.1.dylib libreadline.8.1.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures libreadline.8.1.dylib (for architecture ppc7400): Mach-O dynamically linked shared library ppc libreadline.8.1.dylib (for architecture i386): Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386

so with this, and a few other minor tweaks, we can now build at least all the way up to xorg-server as +universal on BigSur Intel.
That is getting there.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
If you're building on an Intel system, the problem is
It would work on an arm system since that can run x86_64 code.
