Comment (by kencu):

 gcc7 would have been better, as I said yesterday. gcc8 even better, but I
 haven't released that for MacPorts on < 10.7 yet.

 You don't need to add the line to the portfile, by the way.

 Building with Tiger, you will need to force a different compiler hundreds
 of times to make progress, despite what anyone might say around here. You
 have to, because we are breaking new ground and macports is way behind us
 on this.

 To do it easily, just force it on the command line.
 {{{
 sudo port -v install re2c configure.compiler=macports-gcc-7
 }}}

 but none of this is too useful for a ticket, as Ryan can't do anything
 with this information.


 Please be careful. Dozens or hundreds of tickets about ports that won't
 build with Tiger are only going to lead to one thing: MacPorts dropping
 Tiger support.
