geda-gaf @1.10.2_1: gnetlist fails to run with 'xorn-netlist' failed to load

[ravi6 (Surya)]

OS: BigSur Version 11.5.2

1. Initially tried binary port of geda-gaf and when I use the gnetlist

gnetlist -g spice-db sample.net sample.sch

import xorn.storage fails with unresolved symbols.

`xorn-netlist' failed to load.
This is an error.  Please report it to bug-xorn@hedmen.org

2. Closer examination of shared object library with 'otool -L ' did confirm that the symbol was indeed undefined.

3. Deleted geda-gaf binary port and tried with source port. Source compiled and installed well, but the problem persists. (source compiled with mp-clang-9.0, python27 )
4. WORKAROUND: Make the following change to Makefile in geda-gaf-1.10.2/xorn

           Replace.  libxornstorage_la_LDFLAGS = -export-symbols-regex '^xorn_'
           With      libxornstorage_la_LDFLAGS =
