The failure is reported in ports/dbghelp/portfile.cmake at line 17. Start by reproducing the dbghelp:x86-windows installation with the Windows SDK configuration shown, then inspect how the port locates dbghelp.lib, dbghelp.dll, and dbghelp.h. Done means the regression is addressed and the relevant port behavior is verified.
