 I get

 Error: Unable to open port: can't read "configure.ld_archflags": no such
 variable
 Before reporting a bug, first run the command again with the -d flag to
 get complete output.

 as per ticket Ticket #23266 and Ticket #23265.

 However, I'm not installing anything; nor will the single line fix in p5
 -locale-gettext be enough. I see several references to the variable
 configure.ld_archflags in the portfiles on my system

 16:18:02 /opt/local : grep -r "configure.ld_archflags" .
 ./var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/aqua/qt4-mac/Portfile:if
 {[info exists configure.ld_archflags]} {
 ./var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/aqua/qt4-mac/Portfile:
 configure.ld_archflags
 ./var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/aqua/qt4-mac-
 devel/Portfile:if {[info exists configure.ld_archflags]} {
 ./var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/aqua/qt4-mac-
 devel/Portfile:    configure.ld_archflags
 ./var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/devel/git-
 core/Portfile:set LDFLAGS    "-L${prefix}/lib ${configure.ld_archflags}"
 ./var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/devel/readline/Portfile:}
 elseif {![info exists configure.ld_archflags]} {
 ./var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/lang/python31/Portfile:
 if {[info exists configure.ld_archflags]} {
 ./var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/lang/python31/Portfile:
 configure.ld_archflags
 ./var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/lang/slang2/Portfile:if
 {![info exists configure.ld_archflags] && ![variant_isset universal]} {
 ./var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/sysutils/MacPorts/Portfile:if
 {[info exists configure.ld_archflags]} {
 ./var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/sysutils/MacPorts/Portfile:
 configure.ld_archflags
 ./var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/x11/mesa/Portfile:
 if {![info exists configure.ld_archflags]} {
 ./var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/x11/mesa/Portfile:
 set extra_ldflags ${configure.ld_archflags}

 and I can't modify them all!

 The fix in r62661 only 'fixes' on eoccurrence (and not very wel).

 Please ensure that the variable (make variable?) configure.ld_archflags is
 defined for all portfile uses -- apparently it isn't anymore.....
