expat @2.0.1 configure fails: "C compiler cannot create executables"

Description
I try to upgrade my ports after selfupdate and expat install breaks the first step of this process. I could install expat from the source downloaded by port so I tak ethat my system can do it but port does not do it. Latest Xtools re-installed did not change this
I tried all combinations of port clean / port uninstall / -f but nothing did it (log file attached)
Thanks for your help Stephane

Please remember to cc the maintainer. Attach the config.log; it will have more information about how the compiler is failing.

Thanks jmr, did not know about the forwarding stuff, I hope you did it for me as I do not see a field to add a forwarding now. The config log is now attached and a 'ccache' seems to do bad but I do not have enough knowledge to understand what it is nor means. Hope it will help find the break and fix it.

PS: as it seems that my compiler cannor write (ccache main.log attached) I did a repair disk permissions which did not help. this seems more and more to be a stupid problem about file access or some missing vital component.
HELP!!!

It looks as though you have requested things to build with ccache, but that you do not have ccache installed.
Check your /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf. Does it include the line "configureccache yes"? If so change it to "configureccache no". Save and close macports.conf, then clean the affected ports ("sudo port clean expat ccache") and try again.

bull eye!
I remember having accepted recently to add ccache during port upgrade to 1.9.1 (should not have said yes to something I did not know (=lesson)) My port is now upgrading outdated without problem so far and already passed expat and several others.
I guess you can close this pseudo-bug report (one more)
Thanks you very much for your very quick and perfect feedback Your community is really a great think nowadays
