 Replying to [comment:4 ilya@…]:
 > Strange: another port (ansible) does fail installation with the very
 same config and command.

 That doesn't sounds strange; that sounds like it's working as you intend.
 Sounds like the only reason why gmp is being handled differently is
 because it deliberately disabled the use of prepackaged archives, and
 MacPorts base may not have accounted for that situation.

 > (Edit: and I'm not sure if that's correct, too, since ansible doesn't
 need any compilation)

 Compilation no, but assembly yes. There are still instructions in the
 portfile for what to install where, that must still be followed, if a
 prepackaged archive is not available. And one is not available for
 ansible, because its license does not allow it:

 {{{
 "ansible" is not distributable because its license "gpl" conflicts with
 license "OpenSSL" of dependency "openssl"
 }}}
