boehmgc: fatal error: 'new' file not found

[mfacorcoran]

Not sure why but "sudo port upgrade outdated" seems to be failing on all (or nearly all) outdated ports -

% sudo port upgrade outdated
Warning: configured user/group mcorcora does not exist, will build as root
--->  Building boehmgc
Error: Failed to build boehmgc: command execution failed
Error: See /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_github.com_macports_macports-ports_devel_boehmgc/boehmgc/main.log for details.
Error: Problem while installing boehmgc
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets if you believe there is a bug.

the failure seems to be of the form

info:build Command failed:  cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_github.com_macports_macports-ports_devel_boehmgc/boehmgc/work/gc-8.2.8" && /usr/bin/make -j16 -w all 

It's undoubtedly something in my setup but not sure what. I suspected and issue with /usr/bin/make but it seems to work (at least it returns the version):

The relevant error in the log is:

gc_badalc.cc:29:10: fatal error: 'new' file not found
   29 | #include <new> // for bad_alloc, precedes include of gc_cpp.h
      |          ^~~~~

This is #70750. See the solution at ProblemHotlist#clts16.
