Very similar to #71201, because my system with Xcode 4.2 successfully built this.

the dependency on cctools should be added to the clang11-bootstrap port as a depends_run, rather than to all the ports that use clang11-bootstrap.

But I think if I add that now, it means clang11 bootstrap will need to be revbumped to get that into everyone's installed portfile info (I am not 100% sure if that is true, to be honest)..

If that is true, as I think it is (but am not certain), then that means revbumping clang11-bootstrap to pick up the change, which is a bit of a PITA.

icu, icu-devel: use cctools on macOS <10.7

Closes: #71620

Replying to kencu:

There's no need for a rev bump since MacPorts 2.9.

Thanks for mentioning that. I had missed this change and the corresponding update to the Guide section about the revision keyword.
