Comment (by kencu):

 Ah, looks like that RANLIB fix should work, I think.

 That -stdlib=macports-libstdc++ error comes because Marcus' patch is not a
 default on clang-3.9 (it probably should be). You'll need to reinstall
 clang-3.9 with the proper variant manually for now, and enable the
 libstdcxx variant.
 {{{
 $ port variants clang-3.9
 clang-3.9 has the variants:
 [+]analyzer: Install clang static analyzer
    assertions: Enable assertions for error detection (has performance
 impacts,
                especially on JIT)
    debug: Enable debug binaries
    libstdcxx: -stdlib=macports-libstdc++ searches for MacPorts libstdc++
    universal: Build for multiple architectures
 }}}
