#68043: MacPorts 2.8.0 in non-sudo mode, creates source files as `root` and work
files as `macports` on M1 Mac

 This is problematic as it interferes with building GIMP on arm, as the
 files have inappropriate sudo settings. It only appears to be happening on
 the circleci runner (not my local Mac).

 What I'm seeing is `sources` set with user `root` (everything inside is
 also `root`):

 }}}

 The knock on effect appears to be that `build` folders are then set up as
 having user `root` at the top level and then everything inside is user
 `macports`.

 It's very strange and I'm not sure how it can be happening.
