Comment (by ryandesign):

 That's not how you Cc people in Trac. (You add their GitHub handle or
 email address into the Cc field.)

 I'm not aware of any underlying issue. portconfigure.tcl intentionally
 adds `--disable-dependency-tracking` to `configure.universal_args`.
 Autotools-based configure scripts understand this flag.  When the
 universal variant is enabled, the contents of `configure.universal_args`
 are intentionally passed to the configure script along with
 `configure.args`. For ports that have a universal variant and use a non-
 autotools build system that doesn't understand this flag, the port must
 remove this flag as I showed [comment:1 above].
