Comment (by majoc-at-astro):
This just in:
* `port install emacs` installs precompiled binaries of `emacs @26.3_2`,
which work fine.
* `port -s install emacs` builds `emacs @26.3_2` from source without
`+x11`; the result dies on launch.
* Installing `emacs-devel @20200417_0+x11` builds from source and installs
OK on my 10.15 mactop; result successfully runs, and bills itself as `GNU
Emacs 27.0.91`.
* Latter build took rather longer, and spends much of that time running
`emacs-bootstrap`. (Curious, but I'll resist the urge to speculate
further, lest I spoil the kill.)
I'll use `emacs-devel +x11` in active service for a few days to check for
anomalies, and see what our build servers make of it (on macOS 10.13--
10.15); but I think we have a workaround, Houston.
