    11I found the cause of the build error and a fix, but consider there to still be a defect.

    3 The build failed due to a very old gmp installation (located in /usr/local/bin), which was originally built on an x86 architecture Mac and inadvertently brought over to the new arm-based Mac.  The fix was to rebuild gmp (the latest available) in the standard way outside of MacPorts.

    55I consider this to still be a defect because the MacPorts build of texlive looks to /user/local/lib for gmp libraries and not to the MacPorts directory, /opt/local.  Since gmp is a requirement for texlive and is downloaded and built as part of the texlive MacPorts installation, the MacPorts version should be used preferentially to any other version.
