Then I meant wxWidgets-3.0.

If you try to uninstall a port that other ports depend on, MacPorts won't let
you do it. If you force it anyway with the -f flag, then yes, any ports that
depend on that port will be broken until you reinstall that port.
You don't have to uninstall wxWidgets-3.0; you can just rebuild it from source.

The -s flag means only allow building from source, not downloading binaries. -b
on the other hand means only allow binaries, not building from source. These
are documented in https://man.macports.org/port.1.html. The default behavior is
to allow both, though you can change it with the buildfromsource setting in
macports.conf. This is documented in
https://man.macports.org/macports.conf.5.html.
To rebuild [a port that you already have installed] from source, use e.g. sudo
port -ns upgrade --force wxWidgets-3.0.
-s means build from source. -n means this port only, not all of its
dependencies. --force means "upgrade" anyway even though the port is already up
to date.

That's new to me. I guess you should file a bug report.

That's good to hear. It suggests that Apple may have fixed the bug in Xcode
12.4. I should try it out on my own system. If they have fixed it, then I
should update the macOS Big Sur buildbot worker to Xcode 12.4 and then should
revbump wxWidgets-3.0 and any other ports that have been affected by this bug,
though it may be difficult to figure out which ports were affected.
