On attempting to build x11-wm/xfce4 on an ibook G4 running 11.1-RELEASE
with a ports tree updated on
2017/10/04, I encountered a failure indevel/gobject-introspection:
ERROR: Failed to re-parse gir file; scanned='/tmp/tmpASp2z3.gir'
passthrough='/tmp/tmpMHZdPr.gir'
gmake[3]: *** [Makefile:3521: Gio-2.0.gir] Error 1

===> Compilation failed unexpectedly.
Rifling through the source at giscanner/scannermain.py, one finds that
the failure stems
from a simple comparison of the two named files and that they do in fact
differ in one line
(out of ~92,000):
*** tmpASp2z3.gir Wed Oct 11 23:24:40 2017
--- tmpMHZdPr.gir Wed Oct 11 23:24:41 2017

The line in the "passthrough" file appears to have a 20 byte blob of
alien substring from elsewhere in
the file dropped into it. Curiously, the final character of that
substring is at offset 0x1fffff in
the file. I could be wrong, but I'm having a hard time believing that
that's just a coincidence.
This is repeatable.
Is this port known to be broken on ppc32? Any advice on how best to
track it down? My knowledge
of python is thus far inadequate to decipher what the function that
generates the passthrough file
is doing, so I'll have to work on that. I'm not sure the problem isn't
at a lower level though.
Thanks,
