Comment (by Dave-Allured):

 Lorenzo (@news24lor), first of all, thank you for testing `hdf5 -fortran`.
 This is excellent information, knowing that the HDF5 1.14.2 core C library
 builds correctly with CLT 15.0.

 Something in your port configuration is responsible for requesting the
 fortran variant when you proceed to add other ports.  I can confirm that
 HDF5 fortran is NOT required to build either `netcdf` OR `netcdf-fortran`.
 At this time I do not have enough Macports experience to be able to trace
 that fortran variant requirement.  From here, I can think of two
 approaches:

 (1) Locate the port configuration that is requesting the fortran variants,
 and disable that request.

 (2) Disable the `-commons,use_dylibs` option in the HDF5 build.  That
 option is found in the HDF5 configuration variable `H5_LDFLAGS` (see log
 file).  I think this can be done directly with portfile commands, without
 needing a new patch file for `configure`.  But once again, I do not have
 enough portfile experience to know how to do that.  Investigate portfile
 commands relating to configure options.
