-------------------------+--------------------
 Not sure why but "sudo port upgrade outdated" seems to be failing on all
 (or nearly all) outdated ports -


 {{{
 % sudo port upgrade outdated
 Warning: configured user/group mcorcora does not exist, will build as root
 --->  Building boehmgc
 Error: Failed to build boehmgc: command execution failed
 Error: See

 Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets if you believe

 }}}


 the failure seems to be of the form

 {{{
 info:build Command failed:  cd
 "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_github
 .com_macports_macports-ports_devel_boehmgc/boehmgc/work/gc-8.2.8" &&
 /usr/bin/make -j16 -w all
 }}}

 It's undoubtedly something in my setup but not sure what.  I suspected and
 issue with /usr/bin/make but it seems to work (at least it returns the
 version):

 any help appreciated
