Comment(by kbecker@…):

 I encountered the same error.  I was able to get it to complete
 successfully by turning off parallel builds in port file.

 I am running MacOSX 10.5.8 on a 2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo system.  The
 build command generated is:

 {{{
 :msg:configure --->  Building xalanc
 :debug:build build phase started at Wed Sep 22 22:37:42 MST 2010

 }}}

 Note the '''/usr/bin/gnumake -j2 all''' command.  Even with just 2
 threads, the build fails.

 I added '''use_parallel_build   no''' in the Portfile and it completed
 successfully.

 Also, I had Xalanc compile errors on a shiny new 64-bit Snow Leopard
 server system with a two 2.66GHz 6-Core Intel (12 cores) system.  Turning
 off parallel builds also fixed this problem.  (if I should submit a
 separate ticket, please advise).  It issued a make command with a
 '''-j18''' argument!

 Seems Xalanc cannot be built reliably with threads.

 Which begs the questions, are there other ports with the same problem?
