Comment (by ryandesign):

 Their build does seem pretty convoluted. They also patch gettext. I
 thought maybe telling their build system to use MacPorts gettext would be
 easier than fixing their gettext build, but I guess not.

 I think the problem is that they're touching configure files first and
 then touching aclocal.m4 files. If both touches happen to occur during the
 same clock second then there's no problem, but if the clock advances
 between the time that the configure files are touched and the time that
 the aclocal.m4 files are touched, then the configure files are considered
 older and it will want to rebuild them with autoconf. The fix would be to
 touch the configure files after the aclocal.m4 files. The order of these
 touch commands could be changed in deps/build.ninja.
