I don't know why either, but I did check that it's the bison update, i.e., installing the old bison version makes the port build. Yes, the port compiles with gcc-8.4. The port's Makefile has COMPILER = base-clang ports-gcc so if the architecture has not switched to using clang in base (i.e., is a base-gcc architecture), it will use gcc from ports. That's why I expect all such architectures to be affected.
