You can see in the logs that configure decided to use the ´ar´ installed by the binutils port. (The link in /opt/local/bin is named ´gar´ to avoid conflicts with Appöe's ar, but the link in /opt/local/i386-apple-darwin8.9.1/bin/ is named ´ar´.) Could this be the cause? Do you have the binutils port installed?
Further to my last email on this, I installed binutils and got exactly the error you described, then deactivated binutils, cleaned gcc42 and tried installing gcc42 again, and it worked fine. See if you can do a clean install of gcc42 after deactivating binutils.
I deactivated binutils and, yes, gcc42 built just fine.
If that works, it would be great if you could file a ticket about the problem (if you do, don't forget to put yourself and the maintainers of binutils and gcc42 into the Cc: field on the ticket, as the MacPorts Trac installation doesn't currently forward automatically to the reporter or assignee).
I already have an open ticket; I will add this information and also add the CCs. (It would be nice if onthe form there were an indication along the Cc: field like "put the maintainer and yourself in here". Of course, it would be even better if track did that automatically, but let's stick to humble wishes. :-) ) Thanks!
