latex-* fails to build: poppler build error

[Thomas Ruedas]

Hi,
I have just installed Macports 2.3.4 from scratch on a new computer that 
runs OS X 10.10.5 and has Xcode 7.1.1 and am now recompiling packages, 
among them latex-extra. In the process, poppler fails to configure/build 
with the errors shown below (I begin quoting from where it seems to go 
wrong). I didn't find a ticket for it, although it strikes me that a 
fatal error in such a common package would not be reported already.
Any ideas?
Thomas
