It builds fine for me, but I'm on Snow Leopard with Xcode 3. Please "sudo port clean magicpoint" and try again, and if it fails again, attach the main.log file, and let us know your OS version and Xcode version.

the log Peter emailed me

Peter sent the following reply by email:

I've got OS X 10.7.4 with Xcode 4.3.3 now; was 4.3.2 at the time of reporting. It gets a lot further now, but still fails, now during the build process.

The new log shows the same error as #34972. So the problem in this ticket cannot be reproduced.
