 well, that resolved the warnings about undefined stuff
 {{{../harfbuzz-14.2.0/src/hb-coretext.h:33:5: warning: 'TARGET_OS_IPHONE'
 is not defined, evaluates to '0' [-Wundef]}}}
 but it indeed still fails.

 I see a possible problems in your logfile:

 1. {{{:debug:sysinfo Xcode 3.1.4, CLT none}}} - why don't you have a CLT
 installed?

 2. {{{:debug:extract get_source_date_epoch: uncommitted changes to
 /Volumes/BSD-Linux/MacPorts-Ports/graphics/harfbuzz}}} - you are not using
 our Portfile; nobody knows what you changed, so there is little point in
 asking for help here.

 Other than that I don't know... You could try [https://github.com/macos-
 powerpc/powerpc-
 ports/blob/a64b78870ed09ed3afa27dfc613472dd427a207d/graphics/harfbuzz/Portfile
 this Portfile], which is @barracuda156 his PPC overlay and might contain
 fixes specific for PPC/older OSes that are not part of MacPorts.
