I have to agree with Jack on this issue. Having worked on and with
various compilers and operating systems for over 40 years I've seen far
too many problems caused by people trying to second guess what the
compiler or system thinks it should be doing. I've also had a few
problems with MacPorts caused by it's use of -arch and -m64 flags.
