So the proximate cause is that /opt/local/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib needs to be universal, and it is not universal, so the link fails.

However, the real cause is less clear, as that file /opt/local/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib should not be called in to link code when -stdlib=libc++, which it appears to be.

So where is that coming from? Are you using absolutely stock toolchains here, or are you using some alternative toolchain like the one from Iain's repo we recently added for testing with? I could imagine that some part of libtapi or ld64-something might be possibly calling in /opt/local/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib...

On 10.8.5 everything is stock. And no darwin-xtools are not being used (not even installed there).

[kencu (Ken)]

OK, then install libgcc as universal and see if it works then. If it does, that proves the point.

Then to figure out why it is being called at all. At the moment, I cannot see why it would be. There are 100,000 possible factors, which is why we insist on having one supported system variation if people want help with tickets.

If it was me, I might try deactivating libgccN and see if any of the toolchain components complain.

Took forever to build it as universal, but you are absolutely right: once I installed libgcc12 and libgcc as universal, llvm-13 +universal installed fine. I just resumed the build, and it went through completion.

10:~ svacchanda$ port -v installed libgcc12
The following ports are currently installed:
  libgcc12 @12.2.0_0+stdlib_flag requested_variants='' platform='darwin 12' archs='x86_64' date='2022-10-21T13:53:56+0800'
  libgcc12 @12.2.0_2+stdlib_flag+universal (active) requested_variants='+universal' platform='darwin 12' archs='i386 x86_64' date='2022-12-01T05:05:43+0800'
10:~ svacchanda$ port -v installed llvm-13
The following ports are currently installed:

still no idea why, though.

Not today though. It is another multi-hour endeavor.

Replying to barracuda156:

actually, 10 seconds is all it takes, no multi-hour endeavours needed:

sudo port -v deactivate libgcc

see if any toolchain parts are listed as going to be broken by this.

Then after you see that, say "N" and everything stays like it was.

eg:

$ sudo port -v deactivate libgcc
Note: It is not recommended to uninstall/deactivate a port that has dependents as it breaks the dependents.
The following ports will break:
 fftw-3 @3.3.10_0
 OpenBLAS @0.3.21_1
 py310-numpy @1.23.5_0
 ecCodes @2.27.1_0
Continue? [y/N]: N

whatever was going on here is not a general problem
