I try to install gcc8 with latest MacPort on macOS Mojave (10.14.1) with
Xcode (10.1), and I got the following ERRORs:

"---> Computing dependencies for cctools
---> Building cctools
Error: Failed to build cctools: command execution failed
Error: See
/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_devel_cctools/cctools/main.log
for details.
Error: Unable to execute port: upgrade cctools failed"

How to fix it ?

Where is your Xcode located?
{{{
xcrun: error: active developer path
("/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer") does not exist

Comment (by kencu):

The linker seems to be having trouble linking your objects.

Please show us what ld64 versions you have installed. The output of this
command should do it:
{{{
port -v installed | grep ld64
}}}

Comment (by kencu):

also, don't forget good housekeeping. Always clean out a failed build
directory before trying again, or you are starting from an uncertain
state, and will likely have unpredictable results:
{{{
sudo port clean cctools
sudo port -v install cctools
}}}
