Comment (by potmj):

 I have recently encountered this problem on 10.11.6 and I too found this a
 successful workaround:-
 {{{
 $ sudo port select --set llvm none
 $ sudo port clean gobject-introspection
 $ sudo port upgrade gobject-introspection
 }}}

 Seeing the problem was with libcmph.a, previously I had tried separately
 installing cmph to see if the configure would pick up the installed
 `/opt/local/lib/libcmph.a`, which happily builds universal with `llvm` set
 to `mp-llvm-17` (for example).
 {{{
 $ sudo port install cmph +universal
 $ sudo port clean gobject-introspection
 $ sudo port upgrade gobject-introspection
 --->  Computing dependencies for gobject-introspection
 --->  Fetching distfiles for gobject-introspection

 --->  Applying patches to gobject-introspection
 --->  Configuring gobject-introspection
 --->  Building gobject-introspection
 Error: Failed to build gobject-introspection: command execution failed
 }}}
 But this had no effect, reproducing the same build error in the logs.  I
 don't understand why llvm-ar fails, however the `sudo port --set llvm
 none` workaround works.

 I don't understand why the buildbots don't pick up llvm-ar and fail, yet
 some of us end users do.

 Reviewing questions asked above, I strangely find:-
 {{{
 $ port provides /opt/local/bin/llvm-ar
 /opt/local/bin/llvm-ar is not provided by a MacPorts port.
 }}}
 But
 {{{
 $ ls -al /opt/local/bin/llvm-ar
 lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin  28 19 Mar 12:48 /opt/local/bin/llvm-ar ->
 /opt/local/bin/llvm-ar-mp-17
 }}}
 As I would have expected from a recent `port upgrade outdated`

 Hope this helps :-)
