Odd, it seems to be building for x86_64 instead of arm64. That can't end well.

Yep, for some reason a clean install of MacPorts for Monterey creates an /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf with
#build_arch x86_64
and I had to uninstall all packages, uncomment that line, change x86_64 to arm64, and reinstall gdb to get it to work.

Well, according to the macports.conf file - the default build_arch on an M1 system should be arm64. And it does seem like most items that have been installed are that or arm64+x86_64. But gdb seems to insist on trying to install the x86_64 version for some reason.

Near as I can tell, upstream gdb just doesn't support arm64-darwin yet.

Ran into this problem today after installing a patch to work around #66163 (gmp won't build on ARM Macs under Ventura, patch to use gdiff instead of Apple's new diff).
I switched my macports.conf to build_arch arm64 long ago, so that's not the problem.
Bug #66197 says gdb itself doesn't support arm64, which would explain why it builds for x86_64 and demands gmp +universal on ARM Macs.
If I had some idea where it was trying to resolve g*, I could post a list of what's actually there.

Replying to greyhare:

It would be one of these: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/blob/master/devel/gdb/Portfile#L83-L90
