 Replying to [comment:2 AgilentGCMS]:
 > I have tried various combinations of `port upgrade outdated`, `port rev-
 upgrade`, and even explicitly rebuilding `clang-9.0`, but they all end
 with a failure to build `gobject-introspection`. See attached log.

 is being used to compile the ports. I have two versions of `clang`, just
 because I am using ports on a machine without root access:

 When all clangs broke I had the same issue. Quite frustrating. I don't
 remember exactly in which order I did things, but I upgraded all packages
 with the binary versions. You might have more clang versions than clang9:

 {{{
 #!bash
 $ port installed name:^clang
 }}}

 First make sure that `libffi` was updated. It should have already, and
 then causing the things to break. Then upgrade your clangs with `-b` (for
 binary). I have 3.4, 3.7. 5-10. So I updated all one-by-one, in that
 order.

 {{{
 #!bash
 $ sudo port -b upgrade clang-9.0
 }}}

 When upgraded, verify your version(s) with:

 {{{
 #!bash
 $ clang-mp-9.0 --version
 clang version 9.0.1
 Target: x86_64-apple-darwin11.4.2
 Thread model: posix
 InstalledDir: /opt/local/libexec/llvm-9.0/bin
 }}}

 After that you should be able to upgrade your `gobject-introspection`. You
 can always try o add the `-b` to that one as well.

 // I also had a few `py*-gobject*` that didn't upgrade first.
