wcslib fails in destroot phase on G4 running Leopard 10.5.8

wcslib fails with the message:

The build log is attached.

As this port currently has no maintainers, I am not CC'ing anyone. Am I correct in this?

[zzanderr]

Cc Me!

I managed to get wcslib to build, destroot, and install by adding

configure.ldflags-append "-read_only_relocs suppress"

to the Portfile.

Does anyone know of a reason why I might not want to do this?

[zzanderr]

Not sure this makes a difference, but just to be thorough, I am using the +gcc47 variant.

Update: py27-astropy failed in the build stage with a similar error. See ticket #48064

Replying to zanderpower@…:

to the Portfile.

FWIW, there is no reason to put this in quotation marks.

[zzanderr]

Yes, it builds and installs without the quotes. I guess you can tell I'm flying without radar...
