math/SuiteSparse fails to build a universal variant

[Veence (Vincent)]

SuiteSparse has some weird behaviour that forbids universal builds. For example, it fails to call ranlib in two places (why ?), causing a subsequent link to fail. There is also one directory where standard options are not included and the Makefile needs to be patched directly.

I append three files : a Portfile.diff and two patch files to be placed in the files folder.

These didn't function entirely for me:

Is it now metis not producing the correct arch?
