 --disable-dependency-tracking is not supported, but seems to be requested
 somehow.[[BR]]

Comment:

 `--disable-dependency-tracking` not being supported is only a warning; it
 is not the cause of the build failure.

 The cause of the build failure is this line in the log:

 {{{
 error: C compiler cannot create executables
 }}}

 This [wiki:FAQ#missingxcode usually means] you haven't installed Xcode
 properly. If you're sure you have, then please attach the config.log so we
 can investigate further. The config.log is located in the directory
 identified by the command `port work expat`.
