Comment:

 The notes say:
 {{{
 --->  gdb-apple has the following notes:
   You will need to make sure
 /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.taskgated.plist has the '-p'
 option, e.g.
               <key>ProgramArguments</key>
               <array>
                       <string>/usr/libexec/taskgated</string>
                       <string>-sp</string>
               </array>
 }}}
 Editing this file presumably is still necessary on older systems for this
 port to work.

 On my macOS High Sierra system, the file still exists, but of course
 cannot be edited due to System Integrity Protection. I do not know whether
 the port will work on these newer systems if this file is not edited.
