Description
This is a really strange one (to me at least!).
While running the configure script of selfupdate, the compiler at /usr/bin/cc can't build executables, claiming that it can't link -lSystem. If I run the same command on the command line, on a similarly trival do-nothing source file containing a trivial main function returning 0, with or without sudo, I get a working executable.
On a hunch, I gave /usr/bin/cc “full disk access” using System Preferences, in case this was causing problems, and tried running again, but that made no difference.
The only unusual thing about my config is that /opt/local is not on the system drive of my mac, it's on an external drive. Because / is mounted read only these days, I was unable to delete /opt and replace it with a symlink to the right location on the external drive, I instead symlinked one level down so that inside /opt, there's the symlink:
williamg@forth /opt % ls -l total 0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 27 8 Mar 10:32 local -> /Volumes/S860E1TB/opt/local
(Moving everything below /opt back to the system drive isn't an option, it's too full).
config.log from /Volumes/S860E1TB/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs/base will be attached.

Odd that the SDK found is 11.0 when your Xcode is 12.5. Does /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX11.0.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.tbd
exist? Can you try updating your Command Line Tools as per ProblemHotlist#reinstall-clt?

Hmm. Not much present in that SDK's lib directory, certainly:
williamg@forth ~ % ls /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX11.0.sdk/usr/lib libecpg.6.5.tbd libecpg_compat.3.tbd libpgtypes.tbd libviolet_nocatch.tbd libecpg.6.tbd libecpg_compat.tbd libpq.5.6.tbd libviolet_verifier.tbd libecpg.tbd libpgtypes.3.4.tbd libpq.5.tbd libviolet_verifier_qemu.tbd libecpg_compat.3.5.tbd libpgtypes.3.tbd libpq.tbd
These were the available SDK directories at that point:
williamg@forth ~ % ls /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/ MacOSX10.14.sdk MacOSX10.15.sdk MacOSX11.0.sdk
Following your advice, I went to download the Command Line Tools to reinstall them, and noticed there's a new point release of Xcode available, 2.5.1, so I installed that (drive space problems meaning I tend to install from the archive rather than allowing the App Store to manage and update my Xcode installation, it feels as if you need about 50GB free on the system drive if you want that to work!). After that, this is still true (no libSystem.tbd
in the 11.0 SDK), but now there's some more stuff there:
williamg@forth ~ % ls /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs MacOSX.sdk MacOSX10.14.sdk MacOSX10.15.sdk MacOSX11.0.sdk MacOSX11.3.sdk MacOSX11.sdk
… and MacOSX.sdk
and MacOSX11.sdk
are both symlinks to MacOSX11.3.sdk
… and the selfupdate appears to proceed and complete successfully.
Thanks for accurately intuiting where the problem was! I wonder what caused my SDK installation to be broken …

Great, so we'll call this resolved then. However I opened #63130 to have port diagnose
check for this situation.

I don't think you should still have MacOSX11.0.sdk at that point, and if you do, you should probably remove it.
