Comment(by toby@…):
I suppose my point is that it's hardly a problem unique to apr, so it
doesn't make sense to file a bug against apr. MacPorts is essentially
"doing it wrong" when it comes to building universal ports, because it's
running the configure script and hoping that the answers are right for all
of the requested architectures. Of course, the alternative isn't any
better.
The unfortunate reality is that cross-compiling requires a fair amount of
extra work, and that does typically include "knowing" the correct answers
for targetted architectures. With this reality in mind, patching config.h
after the fact is hardly the worst option. As far as a dependency on ed is
concerned... well, if you can find me a unix system without ed, let me
know. :)
