You don't have to Cc yourself if you're the reporter. When reporting bugs against ports, please Cc the maintainer (port info --maintainer gettext), if any.

The problem in your case is:

:info:build clang: error: couldn't create cache file '/var/folders/32/rj247m7j1_g88h4t874bvq2w0000gp/T/xcrun_db-bwjtFHFb' (errno=Permission denied)

We're not sure why this happens, but clang is correct in telling you that this is an error. It however misbehaves in not aborting the compilation, and then sometimes miscompiles (as you have just noticed). The solution is almost always to nuke the temporary directory, clean, and re-run the build. In your case:

rm -rf /var/folders/32/rj247m7j1_g88h4t874bvq2w0000gp

The files in this directory will be re-created automatically.

Alright, the rm -rf fixed it. Should have seen that, sorry.

It builds fine now (and much faster).

Sorry for not CCing the correct maintainer. Will do the next time.

Glad you got it working :)
