The 'emacs-devel' package of MacPorts is currently based on commit
4650ea9c25514831d925e5006ea0c3679344333b (from 2022-Jul-12).
On Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Lion), emacs 27.2 builds fine. However, the above
commit fails with
```
./temacs --batch -l loadup --temacs=pbootstrap \
--bin-dest /opt/local/bin/ \
--eln-dest /opt/local/lib/emacs/29.0.50/
Warning: arch-independent data dir
'/opt/local/share/emacs/29.0.50/etc/': Invalid argument
Warning: Lisp directory
'/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_bblocal_var_buildworker_ports_build_ports_editors_emacs/emacs-devel/work/emacs-20220712/lisp':
Invalid argument
Error: /opt/local/share/emacs/29.0.50/etc/charsets: Invalid argument
Emacs will not function correctly without the character map files.
```
Does this ring a bell? I reported the problem already in
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2022-04/msg00803.html
without progress then. It also fails on Mountain Lion and Mavericks,
BTW; the earliest Mac OS version that successfully builds
'emacs-devel' is Yosemite.
For more details on the builds (including *huge* log files > 100MB
because of zillion compilation warnings that weren't present in 27.2)
