OK. I've just opened a trac ticket.

There was no modification. It is the old port. I just copied the Portfile
and the patch file.

Ah, I misunderstood. I didn't actually use the github
version. I just copied the macports Portfile and patch. But I think the
source might be the same anyway. I assumed that macports found the src
from its own resources:

  https://distfiles.macports.org/sunclock/sunclock_3.57.orig.tar.gz	

However, I just checked and that file is the file that debian got
from github. So no new porting is required.

On this laptop, it's 10.11.6. I haven't upgraded this laptop from an
earlier system. I must have just had sunclock from elsewhere. I used
to be able to compile an older version myself long ago (on 10.6.8?).
I've probably just copied the binaries around since then.

The first time I noticed it was when installing imake (for sunclock)
but that was for the version from github. Debian uses it and has imake
so they must use that when building it. The macports source though
doesn't seem to use imake/xmkmf. There is a Makefile.noimake file
in the source so clearly imake isn't really needed.

But yes, I think llvm-gcc42 isn't needed for any of this. I don't
understand how it got pulled in but it doesn't really matter.
It's gone now and everything is fine.
