A few of our ports are failing on the build infrastructure, for target Big Sur 
x86_64. And one of the culprits is portmidi, which causes downstream ports to 
fail during the install-dependencies phase because "Dependency 'portmidi' with 
variants '' has previously failed and is required.”

But if you look at the build history for portmidi, there have only been two 
attempts for Big Sur x86_64: Details for the first (11/20/2020) don’t exist, 
presumably because they’ve been purged by now. The second (12/14/2020) shows 
failures at a higher level, but when you delve into the details, logs are 
missing:

https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-11_x86_64-builder/builds/7287 
<https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-11_x86_64-builder/builds/7287>

Regardless, if you scrutinize the ‘install-port’ step, it failed mighty 
quickly… in just 13 seconds. Without logs it’s hard to say - perhaps this is a 
legitimate failing during configure? - but still suspicious.

Has anyone with Big Sur on Intel, been able to successfully install portmidi?
