Your options include:       * Linux + glibc >=2.25 (getrandom): HAVE_GETRANDOM,       * Linux + glibc <2.25 (syscall SYS_getrandom): HAVE_SYSCALL_GETRANDOM,       * BSD / macOS (arc4random_buf): HAVE_ARC4RANDOM_BUF,       * libbsd (arc4random_buf): HAVE_ARC4RANDOM_BUF + HAVE_LIBBSD,       * Windows (RtlGenRandom): _WIN32.         If insist on not using any of these, bypass this error by defining     XML_POOR_ENTROPY; you have been warned.         For CMake, one way to pass the define is:         cmake -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-pipe -O2 -DHAVE_SYSCALL_GETRANDOM" .         If you have reasons to patch this detection code away or need changes     to the build system, please open a bug.  Thank you!

Build failures should be reported in the issue tracker so that we can track the fix properly.

This issue has been reported here: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/54474

I'll deal with it at some point if nobody else gets to it first.
