arpack: unknown flag: -current_version

On my MacBook Pro running Tiger, I have arpack 1_3 installed. I can't upgrade it to 1_4:

Tiger is not actively supported anymore. If someone contributes a patch for arpack that fixes this problem, I'll be happy to consider it. Please note that the latest revisions to the arpack code only allow arpack to be built as a universal dynamic library.

Then please cause the arpack port to output a suitable error message on Tiger advising the user about the problem. See any of several ports such as VLC for an example of how this can be done.
