Update on documentation:
I can confirm that "xcode-select --help" does not list an "--install" option on
MacOS X 10.9. Additionally, Xcode no longer lists the command line tools in the
"Downloads" tab of the preferences (which IIRC it did before). Triggering an
update of all downloads does not appear to affect the command line tools in the
way it did before. Furthermore, it seems that they indeed got
uninstalled/removed at some point, either when upgrading the OS to 10.9 or when
upgrading Xcode. There was no notification or explanation of this situation
when reinstalling fink.
My expectation would be a warning that they got removed when upgrading either
MacOS X or Xcode and that they are no longer part of the Xcode distribution.
Update on solution:
I now ran the undocumented "xcode-select --install" manually which resulted in
an additional install with a separate program. Apparently, this option works,
albeit it is undocumented. Afterwards, the python27 port built successfully.
