#43059: openssh fails to build using default xcode gcc 4.2
-------------------------+--------------------------------
 Reporter:  leeawalsh@…  |      Owner:  macports-tickets@…
     Type:  defect       |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal       |  Milestone:
Component:  ports        |    Version:  2.2.1
 Keywords:               |       Port:  openssh
-------------------------+--------------------------------
 When trying upgrade `openssh` (from `@6.5p1_4+kerberos5+xauth` to
 `@6.6p1_1+kerberos5+xauth`), I received the following error:
 {{{
 $ sudo port clean openssh
 --->  Cleaning openssh
 $ sudo port install -sd openssh
 --->  Computing dependencies for openssh
 --->  Fetching distfiles for openssh
 --->  Verifying checksums for openssh

 Error: org.macports.build for port openssh returned: command execution
 failed
 Please see the log file for port openssh for details:
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_net_openssh/openssh/main.log
 To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:
     http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets
 Error: Processing of port openssh failed
 }}}
 Upon inspecting the named log file (which I no longer have, sorry), I
 discovered that it was being built with the default xcode gcc4.2, despite
 the fact that my active selected gcc is mp-gcc48.  It built successfully
 when I forced it to use gcc48:
 {{{
 $ sudo port install -s openssh  configure.compiler=macports-gcc-4.8
 }}}
 I'm no expert, but I'm not sure that's really the best solution.  For one,
 I have to remember to specify each time I update it, and for another, it
 seems like this might harm some other compatibility in the future?

 Shouldn't the default compiler work?

 Please let me know if I can provide more information (I can probably
 uninstall and attempt build with the default compiler if you need the
 original error log).
