Ruslan said that removing the bsd.port.mk code in question solves the problem for him. This means that if port A depends upon port B, port B is able to change the ARCH variable in port A. I would not expect this, and it's not the way the current code works. This patch appears like a can of worms to me. Note: This implies that port A is able to decide upon the content of ARCH for every port it depends upon. This may or may not be a can of worms too. Personally I don't have a strong bad feeling about this part.
