 > Okay, I tried (naively) simply adding a line for the legacy-support
 PortGroup to the portfile, but the build fails with the same error on
 10.11 platform. I'm not bitching about this because I really care about
 sbcl. Maxima has a dependency on sbcl. I don't want to try to convince
 maxima's port maintainer to switch the LISP system to ecl, which builds on
 my system without issues. I don't really know where to go from here, so
 somebody with more knowledge of the ports build system is going to have to
 step in. Why do I mention ecl? SageMath uses ecl to support maxima in
 their system and my build of SageMath from its makefile goes off without a
 hitch, even with the most current version. I can use Maxima in SageMath,
 but I am pushing this here on principle because I don't like to see my
 system progressively obsoleted deeper and deeper by stuff Apple is doing
 as a corporation. That said, I am perfectly  happy to be told by the
 maintainer for this port that we have reached a dead end or that it's too
 much trouble to look farther.


 I would interested in SageMath ... I was wondering about a Portfile for it
 a short while ago, but the idea was shut down because someone had asked
 about it 12 years ago or something and it was felt to be too difficult
 back then.

 I'll take a look at building sbcl on 10.11 if you want to share your
 experiences building SageMath on MacPorts...perhaps we can get a portfile
 for it working after all...
