Comment:

 I have what appears to be the same issue with gmp: it fails on configure,
 while manually configure succeeds.

 In debug mode I get this in the config.log :
 checking for flex... flex
 checking lex output file root... configure: error: cannot find output from
 flex; giving up
 Command failed:  cd
 "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_gmp/gmp/work/gmp-6.1.2"
 && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --enable-cxx
 Exit code: 1
 Error: Failed to configure gmp, consult
