 I tried to `port -vs upgrade libpixman configure.compiler=macports-gcc-7`
 and came up to here:

 `meson` or `ninja` need an update to use the proper `nm` command, but the
 actual failure seems to be the OS which is so old that it does not provide
 `_posix_memalign` – but isn't it also in `libgcc`?
