Comment (by ballapete):

 On PPC Tiger, Mac OS X 10.4.11, texlive-bin started to build – with GCC 6!
 Could be the reason is that I did *not* tell "Yes" when port told me that
 a rev-upgrade was necessary after libpoppler.dylib had changed. Here, on
 Tiger, I started a new build.

 This looks like a bug in port for me. The upgrade of poppler started with
 the designation of the compiler to be used. Additionally the rev-upgrade
 does *not* accept this argument, possibly no argument at all.

 This is as unsatisfying as is when port thinks, "Ahh, first I have to
 build this and that, and maybe later, if nothing breaks, then I can build
 what this bloody wants me to build" and I have given an extra directive.
 Then this is applied to all builds, particularly those on which *my* build
 does not depend.
