brotli @1.0.9: breaks linking against brotli libraries (clang: error: unknown argument: '-R/opt/local/lib')

Reported by: Ionic (Mihai Moldovan) Owned by: raimue (Rainer Müller)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version:
Keywords: Cc: ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)
Port: brotli

Description (last modified by Ionic (Mihai Moldovan))

This version contains a bug breaking all software using pkg-config to link against libbrotlidec (and the other brotli libraries).

Upstream report is at ​https://github.com/google/brotli/issues/836 - the change has since been reverted as part of ​https://github.com/google/brotli/pull/838 , but no new version released yet.

Can you backport the patch, please?

This currently breaks other software like libsoup which tries to link against libbrotlidec by querying pkgconfig. Build log of that attached.
