 That message says

 > binutils for MacOSX is a no-go.

 and

 > binutils 'as' does not know the magic of mach-o.

 and

 > It is simply not supported, the binutils from gnu.

 so it seems like we either need to accept that this won't work, and modify
 the affected ports mentioned in the tickets you closed as duplicates to
 either work when binutils is present or be marked as conflicting with
 binutils, or we need to delete the binutils port.
