Comment:

 Please Cc the maintainer (if any) when reporting bugs against ports.

 Problem is an attempted redefinition of `ptrdiff_t` by
 `/usr/include/sys/_types/_ptrdiff_t.h`, but `ptrdiff_t` is `#define`d to
 be `long`, so essentially the header tries to redefine `long`. Gettext's
 configure script would avoid doing that if it found a usable `ptrdiff_t`
 provided by system headers. However, on your system, this happens instead:
 {{{
 377     :info:configure checking stddef.h presence... yes
 378     :info:configure configure: WARNING: stddef.h: present but cannot
 be compiled
 379     :info:configure configure: WARNING: stddef.h:     check for
 missing prerequisite headers?
 380     :info:configure configure: WARNING: stddef.h: see the Autoconf
 documentation
 381     :info:configure configure: WARNING: stddef.h:     section "Present
 But Cannot Be Compiled"
 382     :info:configure configure: WARNING: stddef.h: proceeding with the
 compiler's result
 383     :info:configure configure: WARNING:     ##
 -------------------------------------- ##
 384     :info:configure configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to bug-gnu-
 gettext at gnu.org ##
 385     :info:configure configure: WARNING:     ##

 }}}

 Please attach
 `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_gettext/gettext/work/gettext-0.19.3/config.log`
 so we can see the error message for this compiler invocation.
