New description:

 Several days ago, Octave was updated and I decided it was an optimal time
 to do a fresh install, as I needed to change a few variants and wanted to
 make absolutely sure there were no linking problems with components that
 are optional dependencies of Octave.  I had recently noticed vecLibFort
 and decided to try it out--I am tired of troubleshooting Atlas

 Alas, it would not build. I checked the current Portfile of vecLibFort to
 make absolutely sure that it had not been revised in the past couple of
 days since I tried to install it, and found that it is as it was.  Perhaps
 I did something incorrectly, or have something installed that that is
 interfering, but the vecLibFort has no variants, and I do not use the
 /usr/share/ directory for anything--it is empty; nor do I have a
 Fink/Homebrew package manager.

 Thus, the problem seems to be that I have
  a. installed some MacPorts package that caused the failure,
  b. used the wrong compiler, or
  c. vecLibFort does not run out-of-the-box on a 10.5.8, PPC 7450

 By the way, after some research, I have fallen under the impression that
 it is Apple's 64-bit Accelerate that has bugs, and the old 32-bit version
 is OK.  Am I correct?

 I am attaching the log for the build.  Hope this helps prevent any future
 problems.
