gcc5 @5.5.0_1 fails to build on macOS High Sierra, Version 10.13.4 (17E202) , for some reason

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

Upgrading from 5.5.0_0 to 5.5.0_1 failed. There seemed to be a problem with /opt/local/lib/libmpfr.4.dylib (MacPorts' gawk crashed). port rev-upgrade could not finish, because it started with gcc5 which always failed. So uninstalled mpfr, libmpc, libgcc, libgcc6, gcc5, gcc7 and started to install these packages. Still gcc5 won't install.
