Comment (by kencu):

 There are a few idiosyncracies when building things on Tiger. One of them
 is this {{{--disable-dependency-tracking}}} issue.

 I forget just now why Tiger shows this more than other systems. Presumably
 it has to do with the older "make" program it defaults to, but somehow I
 think that is not all of the explanation. The "scientific basis" for it
 aside, in practical terms, what you do when this happens is to edit the
 Portfile:

 {{{
 bbedit `port file gtk2`
 }}}

 and add that configure argument it wants in the right place in the
 Portfile, below the other configure args, where it won't get clobbered:
 {{{
 configure.args-append --disable-dependency-tracking
 }}}
 and then clean your build and try again:
 {{{
 sudo port clean gtk2
 sudo port -v install gtk2
 }}}
 and with luck you will either get a successful build, or at least get to
 the next issue down the chain.

 Your portfile edits are all erased each time you do a {{{sudo port
 selfuldate}}} so you don't need to worry about making a mess of things.
 You can save your edits if you want to do that by creating a local
 repository of your edited Portfiles, but that is for another day.
