New description:

 Not yet clear what the exact combination of compiler, linker, and perhaps
 cctools is needed to cause this abort to occur. OP is working on it.




 Here is the failure:


 {{{

 However build succeeds with:

 {{{
 sudo port -v install shared-mime-info configure.compiler=macports-gcc-7
 build_arch="ppc"
 }}}

 Probably port file should be amended accordingly.


 {{{
