Hardware information is only rarely relevant for build problems.

You can check your Xcode and command-line tools versions quickly by using “fink 
list -t xcode”.   Also, since you said you updated from Mavericks to Yosemite, 
if you didn’t reinstall the Xcode command line tools afterwards you will need 
to do so.  The reason some packages build and some do not is generally related 
to particular headers that get changed between dfiferent Xcode and OS versions.

If your command-line tools have been already updated for Yosemite and their 
version is compatible with your Xcode.app version, then you can check the 
contents of /sw/src/fink.build/openmotif4-2.3.4-10/motif-2.3.4/config.log 
around where it says “checking whether the C compiler works” to see what test 
is being run and what error messages show up there.
