Looks like the linker (ld) crashed ("Abort trap"). Attaching the crash log may be helpful, however since it looks like it's using the old gcc 4.2.1 linker, maybe the solution will be to use a newer linker from one of the MacPorts ld64 port's subports.

Thanks for suggestion, I will try that. Should I use --with-ld= in portfile pointing at the linker? Or how to invoke it?

Interestingly, this Abort linker issue is specific to 10.6.8. On 10.6 PPC I have built irssi now with no tweaks:

36-47:~ svacchanda$ port -v installed irssi
The following ports are currently installed:
  irssi @1.2.3_1+perl (active) requested_variants='' platform='darwin 10' archs='ppc' date='2022-01-28T18:28:38+0800'

I guess the problem is that the port build system fails to pass Macports archflags at linking stage:

and should not see /usr/bin/cc being used ever…
