migrating macports to M1 fails to build cmake

[jmgurney (John-Mark Gurney)]

I am migrating my system from an old Intel MBP to a new M1 Pro based MBP (13.0.1 (22A400)).

I am following the direction here: ​https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration to rebuild the ports.

The issue I'm running into is that cmake is being built as a dependency, but the +universal variant is being built. This means that cmake is attempting to build for x86_64, and as part of the configure process, tries to run an x86_64 binary but this fails. I have not installed Rosetta (not sure if this would fix the issue or not), as I'm trying to make sure I get as many native binaries as possible before breaking down and using it.

The output from restore_ports.tcl:

Attached are the relevant logs as well.

I'd expect that either cmake not support a universal variant, or the migration to not attempt to install universal variants if they don't work.

I did notice a similar bug in ​https://trac.macports.org/ticket/66213 and I also noticed that the build systems don't actually build/test the universal variant of ports: ​https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-12_arm64-builder/builds/73986/steps/install-port/logs/stdio which explains why this failure was not caught.
