New description:

 It's not clear how many macOS releases this port is failing to build for,
 as the history has aged out. However, I can confirm that it's failing for
 macOS 10.13.

 Of note, I'm seeing numerous failures in the configure log.

 Plus these two key failures in main.log, with the caveat that they may
 simply be side-effects of earlier configure failures:
 {{{
 :info:configure checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.16.0 gobject-2.0 sqlite3
 libplist >= 1.0 gmodule-2.0... no
 :info:configure configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.16.0
 gobject-2.0 sqlite3 libplist >= 1.0 gmodule-2.0) were not met:
 :info:configure No package 'libplist' found
 }}}

 Both logs attached.

 This failure is blocking downstream ports from building. Is anyone
 interested in taking a look?
