yes, just go with manually blacklisting compilers as required...
Might also be useful to submit a github issue against base, to discuss
improving things there.

Thank you Josh.
Unfortunately that doesn’t help as the same compilers are selected on
OSX 10.8-10.10 and, therefore, the build still fails. It seems to me
that base thinks that Clang 5 and above do support this () .So it makes
sense that these compilers are used but it doesn’t seem to work. For now
I think I’ll just switch the option off for older OS X versions or try
to blacklist Clang < 7 and see it that helps.
Thanks,

dear all,
one of the PRs I just merged
(https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/5848) fails on OS X
10.8, 10.9, and 10.10 with the error "error: thread-local storage is not
supported for the current target” (with AppleClang version 5.1, 6.0, and
7.0, respectively). On 10.7 it works
again because /opt/local/bin/clang++-mp-9.0 is used as compiler, I
assume because of the "compiler.cxx_standard 2011” statement.
Looking at other Portfiles there seem to be two approaches to resolve
this:
1. if ${os.major} < 11, disable “thread_local” which is doable for the
port in question, but it will then also be disabled on 10.7 where is
seems to work now
2. blacklists compilers using "compiler.blacklist-append {clang < 700}”
Is there an opinion (or even consensus) about what is the preferred way
of doing this?
You are supposed to be able to set `compiler.thread_local_storage yes`
and have it Just Work, but I don't know how accurate base's idea of
which compilers versions can be used is.
