 Replying to [comment:5 jmr@…]:
 > Looks like the old gcc-4.0 SDK bug. Is this still an issue with curent
 versions?

 Yes and no:

 No, this particular error should no longer occur, because it was a bug in
 gcc-4.0, and MacPorts now uses apple-gcc-4.2 by default on Tiger instead
 of gcc-4.0.

 But at the same time, because of that change, a universal build of cairo
 and most other ports is not possible anymore on Tiger because apple-
 gcc-4.2 does not support i386/ppc universal builds. (It claims to support
 ppc/ppc64 and i386/x86_64 universal builds.)

 If you need to build universal for i386/ppc, use Leopard or Snow Leopard.
