Comment (by deszoeke):

 This appears to be a problem with the dependency libarchive.
 For me libarchive-3.3.1_1.darwin_16.x86_64 fails to patch with
 {{{
 sudo port upgrade outdated
 }}}
 after updating to Xcode 8.3 8E162 (MacOS 10.12.4).

 From my log, something in autoconf seems to break:

 Similarly in @tideofwords's log, some autoconf macros appear to be
 missing. Perhaps that's relevant.
