gobject-introspection @1.72.0 for +universal: An exe_wrapper is needed but was not found

[barracuda156]

This is a different issue from #64769

I finally have built dependencies as ppc+ppc64 (aside of python310 and its modules). Thanks to Kencu's advice, I fixed meson so that it can now build for ppc+ppc64.

So at first I added depends_skip_archcheck-append python310 py310-cython to gobject-introspection Portfile and tried to build it as +universal. It failed with the following:

Then I added muniversal 1.0 PortGroup and tried to build again. It still failed however:

Exit code: 1

ppc32 part had this:

Build targets in project: 37

Found ninja-1.10.2 at /opt/local/bin/ninja
WARNING: Cross file does not specify strip binary, result will not be stripped.
WARNING: Cross file does not specify strip binary, result will not be stripped.

Now, I made cross-files for ppc and ppc64 by just copying from Kencu and replacing arch. For example, original in /opt/local/share/meson/cross for i386-darwin has:

[host_machine]
system = 'darwin'
cpu_family = 'x86'
cpu = 'i386'
endian = 'little'

[binaries]
pkgconfig = '/opt/local/bin/pkg-config'
cmake = '/opt/local/bin/cmake'

Then my ppc64-darwin:

[host_machine]
system = 'darwin'
cpu_family = 'ppc64'
cpu = 'ppc64'
endian = 'big'

[binaries]
pkgconfig = '/opt/local/bin/pkg-config'
cmake = '/opt/local/bin/cmake'

There was nothing about strip binary there. What did I do wrong and how to fix this?
