That log shows that you are back at the original problem, whose proposed 
solution was to force the use of a newer version of the clang compiler 
by running these:

    sudo port clean source-highlight
    sudo port -s install source-highlight 
configure.compiler=macports-clang-9.0


However, I've lost track of whether we've actually solved the problem 
you hit the last time you tried that: a broken installation of 
clang-9.0. To make sure that problem is fixed, run this:

    /opt/local/bin/clang-mp-9.0 --version

That should put out something like this:

    clang version 9.0.1
    Target: i386-apple-darwin11.4.2
    Thread model: posix
    InstalledDir: /opt/local/libexec/llvm-9.0/bin
