stuck in loop with restore_ports.tcl migrating to macOS Sierra (10.12.1)

[Murray Eisenberg]

After the re-install script (from the migration instructions) got into an infinite loop, I started to reinstall ports manually, starting with the first one on my “myports.txt” list: analitza 

The failure came when installing that failed during the automatic installation of dependencies, in that case gmp.

Today, looking at the dependencies for gmp, I see that all build and library dependencies for that are already installed _except_ kdelibs.

So I tried reinstalling kdelibs, and that in turn choked at trying to install its dependency gmp.

So everything pretty much comes down to failure to configure gmp. 

Configuring gmp (specifically, @6.1.1_0) fails with what appears in main.log as:

     :info:configure configure: error: C++ compiler not available, see config.log for details

In turn, config.log reports:

     /usr/include/pthread.h:423:1: error: C++ requires a type specifier for all declarations
   __SWIFT_UNAVAILABLE_MSG("Use lazily initialized globals instead”)

And that seems to reduce to the issue of the problem with /usr/include/pthread.h, namely:

     /usr/include/pthread.h:423:1: error: C++ requires a type specifier for all declarations
    __SWIFT_UNAVAILABLE_MSG("Use lazily initialized globals instead")
    ^
    /usr/include/pthread.h:423:66: error: expected ';' after top level declarator
    __SWIFT_UNAVAILABLE_MSG("Use lazily initialized globals instead")
                                                                 ^
    2 errors generated.
    configure:10556: $? = 1
    failed program was:
    /* This test rejects g++ 2.7.2 which doesn't have <iostream>, only a
        pre-standard iostream.h. */
    #include <iostream>

I just was about to try to do that
