Yep, you are almost there! that TLS-supporting clang has come along just in time, as more and more ports are using TLS now.

this occurs because the version of nm used to process the objects from the compiler is not new enough
see https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51815
solution is to use the newer nm from cctools at ${prefix}/bin/nm
this can be set with an environment variable sometimes
configure.env-append NM=${prefix}/bin/nm
or for autotools, by passing this in:
configure.env-append lt_cv_path_NM=${prefix}/bin/nm
I usually just add both.
configure.env-append NM=${prefix}/bin/nm
configure.env-append lt_cv_path_NM=${prefix}/bin/nm


I just added a combination of the above to the `gnutls` portfile, and success:

$ port -v installed gnutls
The following ports are currently installed:
  gnutls @3.6.5_1+doc (active) platform='darwin 9' archs='i386' date='2019-01-10T22:53:28-0800'


I have not factored exactly which one worked, so I didn't PR it yet (and we still have other pressing compiler selection issues to sort out first anyway).

Best,

Ken
