 Replying to [comment:2 ryandesign@…]:
 > The transcript above doesn't show a build failure, but somehow an
 extract failure of the llvm-3.3 port.

 No, no! You see me aborting after I saw that port is again going to build
 llvm-3.3. So that's quite OK.

 > Are you using emacs to run MacPorts?

 Yes, of course! There is nothing more useful and handy.

 > Try running MacPorts directly from bash instead.

 After death I'll try contemplating this…

 this point. I'm not sure why llvm-3.3 is being used here either, but I
 suspect it's because you have the cctools port and/or the ld64 port
 installed with the +llvm33 variant?

 No, that's obviously not the case:

 {{{
 port installed | egrep 'cctool|ld'
   cctools @806_3+llvm29 (active)
   cctools-headers @855_0 (active)
   dyld-headers @239.3_0 (active)
   ld64 @97.17_3 (active)
   openldap @2.4.39_0 (active)
 }}}

 But ld64 looks suspicious, doesn't it?

 > If so, you could avoid the sometimes problematic llvm dependency and its
 lengthy compilation time by reinstalling the cctools and ld64 ports
 without any llvm variant.

 To me it looks as if I have to choose one variant, so I'll try to build
 ld64 +llvm29 (and after checking whether any port depends on some
 particular LLVM version I'll try to upgrade cctools and ld64 to that
 version. At least I could build:

 {{{
   llvm-2.9 @2.9_14 (active)
   llvm-3.0 @3.0_13 (active)
   llvm-3.1 @3.1_8 (active)
   llvm-3.2 @3.2_3 (active)
 }}}
