liboil build failure (Mactel, OS X 10.4.8)

[Robert J. Hansen]

Using the workaround on trac addressed my problem with building
evolution-data-server, but it's still a hack.  Still, if that problem
comes up in the future, there are at least two people who have been able
to get around it.

The next problem is liboil.  Particularly, a weird Assembler pseudo-op
called ".balign" is getting introduced, and GCC apparently doesn't know
how to deal with it.

I'm still unable to log into trac, so I can't open a bug on this myself.
 In the interim, I've sent a 'port -dv install liboil' log to Daniel
Ericsson.

Has anyone found this .balign problem before?  If so, how did it get solved?

A (non- -dv) port install output follows here.
