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.

If you're building on an Intel system, the problem is 

merger_must_run_binaries yes

It would work on an arm system since that can run x86_64 code.
