Comment (by MarcusCalhoun-Lopez):

 I am sorry to hear about your recent negative experience.\\
 Recently, the rebuilds of GCC have been due to upgrading libgcc to GCC
 8.\\
 This was a significant undertaking.

 The reason for this particular problem, however, was that you and I
 install GCC as a universal port.\\
 We each ran across the same problem, and a rebuild was necessary to fix
 it.\\
 I would venture to guess that not that many others build GCC with the
 universal variant, and so the error was not caught earlier.

 If build times are a significant issues, may I suggest you set up your
 MacPorts in such a way as to be able to use
 [https://guide.macports.org/chunked/using.binaries.html binary
 packages].\\
 That way, you can (mostly) just download a prebuilt package.
