Comment (by ryandesign):

 That commit also triggered 30-odd ports to be built on 10.12 x86_64 which
 are failing too:
 https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10.12_x86_64-watcher/builds/51477

 And the problem doesn't only occur when a change is committed to these
 ports. It also occurs any time a change is committed to any port that
 eventually depends on these ports.

 You can see from e.g. https://ports.macports.org/port/qt55-qtbase-
 docs/builds/ how we keep failing to build these ports over and over.

 There have been complaints from MacPorts users that ports are taking to
 long to build on their systems, which we must translate to: we didn't have
 the binaries available quickly enough, which is in part because we were
 spending time attempting builds that were already destined to fail. There
 are hardware upgrades to the build system that we could contemplate, but
 whatever build server resources we have I think it's important that we
 don't waste them.
