auto-multiple-choice-devel: perl5.28 crashes using gobject-introspection on Apple Silicon

[nortcele]

A auto-multiple-choice-devel user tell me that the program crash at launch on a mac with Apple Silicon. I received a crash log and I saw that the problem seems to be related to Perl 5.28 and perhaps gobject-introspection.

I don't have a Apple Silicon machine to test. I see that Macport version of gobject-introspection is not at the latest version. Homebrew report the latest version of gobject-introspection compatible with Apple Silicon.

So I tryed to create a local gobject-introspection port with the last version and tested it on an Intel Macbook pro with macOS 11.3 20E232, Xcode 12.5 12E262 and MacPorts 2.6.4. The installation from a clean Macport of all dependencies went fine and auto-multiple-choice-devel worked perfectly. auto-multiple-choice-devel use GTK3 and gobject-introspection. I think that I can't go any further without an Apple Silicon machine.

Attached are the crash log and the portfile I used for gobject-introspection. The portfile don't use any patch and is a mixture of the old version and the informations from Homebrew. I kept the following lines from the old version but I don't know if they are needed.

PortGroup           active_variants 1.1

depends_lib         …
                    port:py39-mako \
                    port:py39-markdown
…
depends_run         bin:glibtool:libtool
