expat @2.1.0 fails to build on 10.5.8, Xcode 3.1.4 - While trying to install gimp2
--disable-dependency-tracking is not supported, but seems to be requested somehow.
Google found this on the matter, but I'm not sure how it applies: ​http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-dev/2009-September/009742.html

Summary: expat @2.1.0 fails to build on 10.5.8 Xcode 3.1.4 --disable-dependency-tracking → expat: C compiler cannot create executables

--disable-dependency-tracking not being supported is only a warning; it is not the cause of the build failure.

The cause of the build failure is this line in the log: 

error: C compiler cannot create executables

This usually means you haven't installed Xcode properly. If you're sure you have, then please attach the config.log so we can investigate further. The config.log is located in the directory identified by the command port work expat.
