Comment (by cal@…):
Unfortunately MacPorts just assumes you have the Command Line Tools
installed and does not track which ports actually use them. Since (until
10.9) the Command Line Tools provided `/usr/bin/clang` that wasn't an
issue, though – builds would just fail immediately without them.
Since 10.9 the shims installed as `/usr/bin/clang` and similar tools no
longer tell you to install the Command Line Tools but fall back to using
compilers from Xcode, if you have that installed. Unfortunately, that
breaks in subtle ways, such as this one. Note that "depends on Xcode"
would actually not be correct, because it "depends on Xcode CLT" in this
case, and we should really distinguish both those cases because those
packages can be installed separately.
Tracking these requirements is a good idea but hasn't been done yet and
would require a lot of work at the moment. Fortunately, a feature I've
been working on called trace mode to be released with the next major
release should make getting this right a lot simpler.
