New description:

 Installation of gperf +universal fails with "C compiler cannot create
 executables"

 {{{
 $ sudo port install gperf +universal
 ....
 --->  Configuring gperf
 Error: Failed to configure gperf, consult
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_gperf/gperf/work/gperf-3.0.4/config.log
 Error: org.macports.configure for port gperf returned: configure failure:

 ...
 }}}

 Exhibits behavior similar to this ticket:
 #29862

 I attempted to use different compilers as instructed in the hotlist
 (cleaning between each attempt):

 {{{
 $ sudo port install gperf +universal configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2
 $ sudo port install gperf +universal configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2
 }}}

 Same results.
