ruby31 3.1.3: fails to build on OS X 10.8 and 10.9

The build configures as usual, but fails during the build stage. Log extract:

:info:build make[1]: *** [ext/-test-/RUBY_ALIGNOF/all] Error 2

The error is not that ext/-test-/RUBY_ALIGNOF/Makefile does not contain a target all, but that the Makefile in this directory does not exist at all. According to a comment on an earlier ticket from a few months ago (comment:ticket:65290:1), the generation of this Makefile overwrites the Makefile in the build root directory, and that seems to be the case on my system as well.

I have tried compiling with Clang 14, Clang 15 and GCC 11 – the result is always the same. I also tried using gmake instead of make and to build with use_autoreconf yes in the Portfile (required an additional patch akin to patch-configure.diff for configure.ac). Nothing helped.

If I build Ruby from source outside of Macports (same source tgz), I do not encounter this issue. I noticed that even if I pass all the Portfile configure options, the generated Makefiles are quite different (I will attach both files).

When building from source outside Macports I had to apply two patches manually:

• Add -framework Security to Makefile
• Change MAP_ANONYMOUS to MAP_ANON in yjit_asm.c

I have no reason to believe that any of these changes affect the final result. There are a few compiler errors that prevent the build from succeeding, but that is not relevant here. The important thing is that it gets past the Makefile issue.

I configured with CC=clang ./configure --enable-shared --enable-install-static-library --disable-install-doc --mandir="/opt/local/share/man" --enable-pthread --without-gmp --with-opt-dir="/opt/local" --program-suffix=31 --with-rubyhdrdir=/opt/local/include/ruby-31 --with-ruby-libprefix=/opt/local/lib/ruby31 --with-openssl-dir=/opt/local --without-baseruby, applied the patches mentioned above and built with make -j16. I will attach that log as well for comparison.
