 powerpc-rtems-gcc @4.2.3 fails to build due to 2 reasons:

 1. texinfo5: The file main.log_makeinfo5 contains the related error log.
 One workaround is to use makeinfo from OS X Yosemite which has the version
 4.8. Passing parameters below to macports invocation should mitigate this
 problem:
 {{{
 build.args="MAKEINFO=/usr/bin/makeinfo"
 destroot.args="MAKEINFO=/usr/bin/makeinfo"
 }}}

 2. clang: The file main.log_makeinfo4 contains the related error log. A
 workaround is to use gcc (gcc49 works, but I think any gcc4x should work).
 Passing parameter below to macports invocation should mitigate this
 problem:
 {{{
 configure.compiler=macports-gcc-4.9
 }}}

 Two workarounds combined:

 {{{
 build.args="MAKEINFO=/usr/bin/makeinfo"
 destroot.args="MAKEINFO=/usr/bin/makeinfo" configure.compiler=macports-
 gcc-4.9
 }}}

 I am also attaching a patch file proposal that combines the two
 workarounds and depends on gcc49.

Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 There is, by the way, no need to enclose `MAKEINFO=/usr/bin/makeinfo` in
 quotation marks in your patch.

 Forcing the use of a gcc port is usually not desired.
