Comment(by josharian@…):

 > Since dluke@ reports 10.7's build works fine (which uses clang) and
 apparently Xcode 4.0 & 4.1 cause MacPorts to default to llvm-gcc-4.2,
 perhaps avoiding llvm is the answer.  If you try setting

 Awesome! Thanks, that did it. (FYI, I wasn't sure where precisely to put
 it in the Portfile, so I added it as a variant and used that variant.) Fix
 confirmed!


 > If that's the answer we'd probably want to copy how
 [browser:trunk/dports/devel/gmp/Portfile gmp does this] since that'll
 limit it to just where llvm is used.

 I trust I can leave this to someone who actually knows what they're doing?
