New description:

 The samba4 port fails to build on Catalina with MacPorts 2.6.3.
 The relevant error message is

 {{{
 :info:build Creating libcli/util/proto.h
 :info:build Can't use 'defined(@array)' (Maybe you should just omit the
 defined()?) at ./pidl/pidl line 576.
 :info:build make: *** [idl] Error 1
 }}}

 Apparently, this is different from other build failure tickets, such as
 #38639

 Indeed, samba4 appears to use a Perl IDL compiler,
 https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/PIDL

 The source code for PIDL is here
 https://gitlab.com/samba-team/samba/-/tree/master/pidl
 but there are no indications of system requirements.
 Could there be a perl version mismatch ?
