Builds fails as follows

Indeed perl 5.20 does not provide fakethr.h although perl 5.18 and earlier do.

Full build log attached.

I also cannot build this port, but I see a different error. I was able to solve the fakethr.h error in this and other ports by reinstalling perl5 +perl5_20 and perl5.20 (see #44412).

sudo port -f uninstall perl5 perl5.20
sudo port install perl5 +perl5_20 perl5.20

I will attach my main.log.

I was also able to fix my problem by rebuilding port perl5.20 from source

sudo port -ns upgrade --force

but updating (not forcing a source build)

sudo port -n upgrade --force

re-fetches the prebuilt archive which once again exhibits the original problem.

Incremented the revision of port perl5.20 in r122651 and verified that the archived binary is fixed also.

Closing this ticket as the reported problem is solved but the secondary issue reported in comment:2 becomes apparent which also effects p5.18-pdl.

See ticket #44439 for my report of this secondary issue.
