As I described in the ticket, building virtualbox fails (for the
existing 4.2.16 port and my own 4.2.18) on 10.8.5 with XCode 5.0.2.

Where to start digging? Is this an issue that XCode brought up? Isn't
macports already adjusted to suite these changes? Sorry if these are
low level questions, but Im just beginning to start with the macports
interna...

Have these issues been reported upstream? Is there a OSX-guy in the
virtualbox dev team that I could contact?

I am not too familiar with the building process of virtualbox, so it
will take quite some time to dig into that. But if it comes to
contacting the devs and reminding, I might be able to do that
periodically.

Johannes
