What package is this? Do you need the universal binary? If the two .info 
files are identical except for `Architecture:` field, why do they need 
to be separate? A single file with no `Architecture:` should suffice, 
no?

For CFLAGS, if you add `-arch arm64` indiscriminately, older releases 
before macOS 11 (I think) may probably crash during the compile.
