It doesn't need to go inside the universal variant; I don't think any other ports do that. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38267#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

What's the benefit of this flag anyway?

So in other words we could remove it from everything that does'''n't''' use `automake`?

No. The flag is necessary for universal builds because automatic dependency generation cannot be done when targeting multiple architectures. I presume that the configure scripts that don’t accept the flag have dependency generation disabled by default. In my experience, most configure scripts that don’t accept the flag just ignore it. Unless the flag actually causes problems with configure, I don’t see why we should bother dealing with it. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38267#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
