Comment (by chrstphrchvz):

 The stray SYN {{{^V}}} character reliably appears, and so far I have only
 ever noticed it in the context of this issue. It is not of my doing, as it
 even appears in main.log.

 I’m inclined to say that, at the time I reported the issue, any other
 failed mysql8 build not using trace mode was for reasons unrelated to this
 one.

 Off-topic:

 Do not rely on https://packages.macports.org for determining port health.
 https://packages.macports.org is for prebuilt binaries of ports. You will
 not find any prebuilt MySQL/MariaDB ports, because they are built with
 OpenSSL 1.1, which MySQL/MariaDB themselves being licensed under GPL do
 not allow binary redistribution of (this condition may go away if the
 ports are migrated to OpenSSL 3, which is GPL compatible).

 The build status/port health, even for ports not binary redistributable,
 is shown on https://ports.macports.org. Many MySQL/MariaDB ports do
 currently build on various macOS versions, though there are various
 unresolved and unreported failures.

 Also, I personally am not surprised by some audiences finding MacPorts of
 limited use (or maybe even a waste of their time!), including due to it
 offering far more ports than it can reasonably expect to maintain. But I
 could only wish that it instead focused on only doing more of what it is
 relatively good at. So for now, I have tried to remove far more from
 MacPorts than I have added to it, but there are obstacles (e.g. lack of
 more formal policy, preferences of influential members) to deleting even
 more of the old, outdated, and/or long-broken ports which I believe are
 unused, unusable, are now useless, and/or shouldn’t be used or offered
 anymore.
