This problem was known to the MacPorts project when mdk 1.2.1 was initially
added to MacPorts in 2005, but was apparently not reported to you because the
problem remains with 1.2.7:
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/5090
It seems that libreplace.a is empty, and OS X's version of ar does not allow
you to use empty libraries.
The workaround we committed was to add a dummy function to the library so that
it is not empty:
