gmp 4.2.3 port does not have universal binary support

[illogic-al@…]

gmp has the line 'universal_variant no' in its portfile. If removed gmp can actually compile a universal binary.

fixed in r41020

Are you certain the universal variant now works? When I tried it last, it compiled but did not produce a usable gmp. Please see #15578.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The universal variant does not work with gmp 4.2.3.

On PowerPC 10.4.11, configure does not complete:

checking if .align assembly directive is logarithmic... yes
checking whether compiler output is PIC by default... yes
checking if the assembler needs r on registers... configure: error: neither "mtctr 6" nor "mtctr r6" works

On Intel 10.4.11, configure and build succeed, but test fails as in #15578:

Turned universal variant off again in r41062. Duplicate of #15578.

This is the error I am getting when trying to build for ppc on 10.6.8: ​https://trac.macports.org/ticket/64496
