What I think happened is that clang-5.0 was not installed, so MacPorts wanted to build it first, but it needed a compiler to build 5.0 and went for clang-4.0 for that. But clang-4.0 was not installed either, so it needed to build it first and had to pick a suitable compiler for that and so went for clang-3.9 for that job (3.9 was marked as "failed in an earlier attempt" due to problems with cmake, so it didn't build anything at all). It's just unconfirmed speculation though. Mojca
