Some of these will be fixed via adding #define __STDC_FORMAT_MACROS 1, but that does not solve the problem.

This seems like a defect in the +nss variant you recently added to the zmq port. The portfile manually adds -I${prefix}/include/nss but fails to add -I${prefix}/include/nspr (that's where prtypes.h is). pkg-config nss --cflags knows about both paths.

After fixing that, the build of zmq +nss still fails at link time when it can't find libssl3.dylib, because as with the headers it's not looking in the right directory. pkg-config nss --libs shows the correct flags to use for linking.

The build system should be handling this all for us, so I suspect it's something the developers of zmq should fix in their cmake files. I've ​filed a bug report with them.
