Thanks for bringing this up. If applying the workaround on Travis CI is
acceptable, I'd like to ask whether it's feasible to apply the
workaround on buildbots, too. Currently, osxfuse is binary
redistributable, and there are prebuilt packages for Darwin 13 to Darwin
16 [1]. If MacPorts provides prebuilt osxfuse for High Sierra, users can
enjoy osxfuse without bothering with their Xcode installations.
