Comment:

 derflorianlang's problem was not the same problem as the reporter's; he
 just needed to wait longer for the build to finish.

 soxofaan's problem was not the same problem as the reporter's; he had an
 incomplete build against an old libgmp and needed to clean and try again.

 That leaves the reporter's problem: he has the error message "warning
 empty archive: libbackend.a (can't load from it)". There are no Google
 hits for this error message except for this ticket. The attached build log
 is incomplete (contains lines "Skipping"...). Does the problem persist if
 you clean and try again? ("sudo port clean gcc44") If so, please attach
 the full main.log file after such an attempt.
