 As briefly discussed before, I suggest that the +universal variant used in
 conjunction with any gccXX port be renamed. Albeit it does not cause gcc
 itself to be build as a universal binary, it causes all required ports to
 do so, especially cctools, which is an obvious waste of time, power, and
 disk space. Changing "universal" to something else would not cause this
 side effect.
