kdiff3 0.9.92_0 - Build failure

[nick@…]

kdiff3 repeatedly fails to build, with the following stdout:

This appears to be a known problem with Leopard's linker, according to ​http://trac.macports.org/wiki/LeopardProblems - so, I created a local portfile repository with the following local portfile, and kdiff3 then built successfully.

Modified Portfile

# $Id$

PortSystem          1.0

name                kdiff3
version             0.9.92
categories          devel
platforms           darwin
maintainers         simon openmaintainer
description         kdiff3 is a file comparing and merging tool.
long_description    kdiff3 compares two or three input files and shows the \
                    differences line by line and character by character. It \
                    provides an automatic merge facility and an integrated \
                    editor for comfortable solving of merge conflicts. \
                    kdiff3 allows recursive directory comparison and merging \
                    as well.

I would appreciate it if the official Macports port of kdiff3 was updated to fix this problem! Thanks for all of your hard work.

Just to be utterly pedantic, I should mention under 'Successful install commands' that I created the local portfile repository first by modifying /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf to the following:

# MacPorts system wide sources configuration file
# $Id: sources.conf 26177 2007-06-15 10:11:22Z jmpp@macports.org $
#
# To enable your local ports repository, uncomment and customize the
# following line to point at your local ports directory
# Example: file:///Users/landonf/misc/MacPorts/ports
file:///Users/fabry/Library/Ports
#
# To prevent a source from synchronizing when `port sync` is used,
# append [nosync] to the end of the line
# Example: file:///Users/landonf/misc/MacPorts/dports [nosync]
#
# To get the ports tree from the MacPorts rsync.macports.org server use:
# rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/
rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/

...and then placed the modified portfile in /Users/fabry/Library/Ports/devel/kdiff3 as PortFile.
