The code around the error in question looks like this:

#ifndef HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY
# error Somebody has to work out how to handle if getimeofday is not around
#endif

So this means that the configure script failed to define HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY for us. Checking in config.log to see how the conftest for it turned out, I found this:

configure:9250: checking for standard gettimeofday
configure:9269: /usr/bin/clang -o conftest -pipe -Os -isysroot/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk -arch x86_64 -I/opt/local/include -isysroot/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk -L/opt/local/lib -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names -Wl,-syslibroot,/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk -arch x86_64 conftest.c  >&5

                    exit (gettimeofday (&t, 0) != 0
                    ^
conftest.c:58:21: note: include the header <stdlib.h> or explicitly provide a declaration for 'exit'
1 error generated.
configure:9269: $? = 1
configure: program exited with status 1

So, this turns out to be another case of -Werror=implicit-function-declaration being on by default causing stuff to break again.

Yes. Perhaps updating the port to a newer version would be a first step to try.

$ port livecheck remake
remake seems to have been updated (port version: 4.2.1+dbg-1.4, new version: 4.3+dbg-1.5)

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

In ec3140ff571fbe034b7428aeb82c65ff96f7196c/macports-ports (master):

remake: Update to 4.2.1-dbg-1.5

Closes: #62299
