Mac Ports Troubleshooting: "error: command '-DNDEBUG' failed with exit status 1"

Several different port installation attempts have been throwing this error for me lately:

error: command '-DNDEBUG' failed with exit status 1

I researched a workaround but to no avail.

Finally the solution presented itself:
Simply run the same port installation command again!

    This helped me too. I was trying to install scons and it required py25-hashlib which included this error.

    My build failed on py25-hashlib also. Is it a macport bug or a py25-hashlib bug?
