Unable to build php72 on Mac OS Big Sur

[ndebarnot (Nero)]

Hello,

It is not possible to build php72 on Big Sur with Xcode 12.3 and Command Line Tools for Xcode 12.3 installed.

Macports has been reinstalled as required by the ​OS migration upgrade.

In the future, please add the port maintainer(s) to Cc (port info --maintainers php72), if any.

% sudo port install php72 +apache2 +mysql57 +pear

Note that php72 does not have variants called apache2, mysql57, or pear. You can see what variants it does have by running port variants php72.

Thanks for letting me know about the variants and thanks for the fix!
