New description:

 All the prerequisites for octave-devel are compiled in my MacPorts system,
 but octave-devel will not compile. It fails in the build stage with the
 first error indication
 {{{
 :info:build display.cc:73:46: error: 'CGDisplayBitsPerPixel' was not
 declared in this scope
 :info:build make[3]: *** [liboctinterp_la-display.lo] Error 1
 }}}

 The suggested Xcode fixes
 {{{
 sudo port install octave-devel configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2
 }}}
 and
 {{{
 sudo port install apple-gcc42
 sudo port install octave-devel configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2
 configure.cxx=g++-apple-4.2
 }}}
 do not help. They never make it past the configure stage.

 This is a Mac OSX 10.8 problem. I had no trouble building octave-devel
 @3.4.3 under OSX 10.7. However my McPorts system has been completely
 reinstalled under OSX 10.8. I now have 168 active ports. The only ports I
 have not been able to build are fltk-devel @1.3.x-!r9327 and octave-devel
 @3.4.3.

 I am attaching the main log for my octave-devel build attempt.
