this sometimes works to fix that:

configure.ldflags-append -Wl,-read_only_relocs,suppress

search the port tree for other examples where I or others have added that. You need to do some special stuff if muniversal PG is being used.

Thank you! Will try it.

No, no change. I tried to build -universal just to be sure that muniversal is unrelated to the issue, but got identical failure.

one more thing for you to try:

configure.cflags-append -fpic
configure.cxxflags-append -fpic
