--------------------+-----------------------
 i am trying to update mailutils port from version 3.6 (which fails to
 build on osx 11.x) to latest version 3.12 (Portfile attached).

 i can build via command line the usual way: ./configure && make.
 using macports port -vt build fails (main.log attached)

 differences i have noticed:

 -- command line configure does not detect -ltdl, while port -vt configure
 does detect -ltdl (shell-configure-schema and port-configure-schema
 attached);

 -- command line configure identifies "gcc" while port configure identifies
 "/usr/bin/clang" (shell-config.log and port-config.log attached).

 any help would be highly appreciated. cheers,
