Comment:

 I'm not sure what you mean about universal. The log you attached shows a
 single-arch (non-universal) build of devhelp.

 It shows it failed because:

 {{{
 clang: error: unknown argument: '-export-symbols
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_gnome_devhelp/devhelp/work/devhelp-3.38.1/devhelp/symbol.map'
 }}}

 In other words, it's treating `-export-symbols
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_gnome_devhelp/devhelp/work/devhelp-3.38.1/devhelp/symbol.map`
 as a single argument, and doesn't understand that. I'm not sure how this
 ever worked. Maybe it would understand it if it were being given two
 separate args.

 These args are being supplied because of a patch MacPorts added; this is
 not a bug in the upstream code, except to the extent that it looks like we
 had to use the patch because the upstream code assumed a GNU linker and
 didn't work with the Apple linker.
