 That was my point, actually -- the sum of internet wisdom is that the
 off_t issue is likely not the real problem, rather whatever is making the
 library not seem to be found when it is there is the real trouble, so that
 is where attention should be spent.

 I was going to fix it for you, as I have a few spare minutes and I have
 every MacOS system Apple ever made running, most in hardware, some only as
 VMs.

 I thought I would try the oldest of the failures, as that is usually going
 to be the hardest one to fix, but lo-and-behold, it just builds through on
 10.7 without touching a single thing in any Portfile:
 {{{
 $ port -v installed netcdf-fortran
 The following ports are currently installed:
   netcdf-fortran @4.6.1_3+gcc13 (active) requested_variants=''
 platform='darwin 11' archs='x86_64' date='2023-12-25T15:41:32-0800'
 }}}

 No problems finding the netCDF-4 library:
 {{{
 checking netCDF logging present... yes
 checking netCDF v2 API present... yes
 checking netCDF-4 present... yes
 }}}

 or finding off_t or any of  the related types:
 {{{
 checking for _Bool... yes
 checking for stdbool.h that conforms to C99... yes
 checking for size_t... yes
 checking for working alloca.h... yes
 checking for alloca... yes
 checking for size_t... (cached) yes
 checking for off_t... yes
 checking for ssize_t... yes
 checking for ptrdiff_t... yes
 }}}

 so as everything here seems 100%, I guess I won't be able to help on 10.7
 at least, as I can't reproduce it.

 If I get time I will look at one of the other systems that failed.
