Comment (by kencu):

 For background, Iain Sandoe has been specifically working on this problem
 -- it has to do with the c++abi in libgcc7 not playing nicely with the one
 in /usr/lib/libgcc*.

 Apparently, it is not simple to fix this -- libc++abi is too integrated
 into libgcc, I believe he said -- but he has hopes to do so.

 If it is working now, it is just random good luck.

 Iain's suggestion for a long-term fix is to consider having MacPorts
 supply an update to /usr/lib/libgcc* that interested users would install
 to update the system roots.

 I have not tried to sell that to the MacPorts group, as I don't (at
 present) want to take that war on.
