Comment (by ryandesign):

 The port is outdated; maybe updating would help:

 {{{
 % port livecheck calc
 calc seems to have been updated (port version: 2.14.1.5, new version:
 2.14.2.1)
 }}}

 The port uses no configure script and a custom Makefile and doesn't use
 the makefile portgroup and doesn't manually send all MacPorts flags to the
 build system; this could relate to the problem.

 But it builds fine for me with Xcode clang or MacPorts gcc 12 on macOS 12.

 Disabling silent rules may provide insight into what went wrong on your
 system. According to the Makefile, this is how to do that:

 {{{
 # Disable silent rules
 build.args-append   Q= H=@ S= E= V=@
 }}}

 This may be too much detail for general use; maybe only some of those
 should be added to the Portfile; but maximal detail should help pinpoint
 this problem.
