Thanks for the pointer.  That looks like a duplicate of Issue11149 (and 
Issue12701).  Another manifestation of this was reported in Issue13061 
which also originated from MacPorts.  I'll remind them that the 
configure change is likely needed for all Pythons.  It's still safest to 
stick with good old gcc-4.2 on OS X at the moment.
