Thanks, somehow I had been unable to find it.

If you haven't already, you might try making that modification in your local copy of MacPorts (on macOS 10.13 or earlier) and using it for awhile and verifying that this doesn't break any ports.

Yes it is irritating to duplicate code in lots of ports. If the fix is correct, it should be in base. Joshua objected to the change in the PR. I've asked in the ticket for him to clarify his objection because I don't understand it.

It is great that you propose fixes; thank you. There are a zillion things going on in MacPorts and it is easy for things to get forgotten.
