Comment (by kencu):

 This error is nicely described here
 <https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/14404> and it appears similar.

 It looks like something changed in a recent autotools upgrade at 1.16,
 which would be why we're seeing it much more lately on Tiger.

 It also looks like it could be fixed by forcing a newer `make` like
 `gmake`, which is why we're only seeing it on Tiger.

 I really would like to just force all MacPorts' builds on Tiger to use
 `gmake` without having to specify it for every single port. Perhaps if we
 had the `gmake` port install `gmake` as `make` or with a link to `make`
 during installation on Tiger we would make everyone's life much easier.
 Especially mine.
