LibcxxOnOlderSystems

[Bjarne D Mathiesen]

I
1) uninstalled all installed ports
2) manually cleared the build directory for cruft

now, "port -vN install libcxx" with
buildfromsource    always
cxx_stdlib         libc++
default_compilers  macports-clang-5.0 macports-clang-3.7 gcc-4.2
                   apple-gcc-4.2 macports-clang-3.4

#=> port -vN  install libcxx

Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.
Error: Processing of port libcxx failed

So ... 👎🏻 it fails already after the first port has been installed 👎🏻
