Comment (by qbarnes):

 I'm going to need some pointers here.

 I was able to reproduce the above reported error that generated this
 ticket against xcb on a Catalina system, but I cannot find any place that
 specifies the string "Makefiles.dir".  I grepped everywhere under
 /opt/local/var/macports.

 After running "xmkmf", macports should not be calling "make
 Makefiles.dir", but just simply "make".  When I do that, the build
 successfully runs.

 Can anyone tell me what's causing macports to invoke "make Makefiles.dir"?
 Is it a new bug in macports dealing with "use_xmkmf yes" builds?  Is it
 some new setting I have to add to my Portfile?
