 That would presumably have fixed it, but that became unnecessary when
 upstream [https://sourceforge.net/p/curl/bugs/1014/ changed their code] in
 May 2011 to no longer test for that file when cross-compiling. The version
 of curl currently in MacPorts contains the revised code, so it no longer
 has this problem.

 I'll handle that issue in #32287.

 That was handled in #24001.
