 Replying to [ticket:59510 Dave-Allured]:
 > I think this is a corner case, convergence of two factors:
 > 1.  Major version update from gdal 2.x to 3.x.  Version 2.x built fine
 for me recently.
 > 2.  Custom install prefix which is longer than the usual `/opt/local`.

 You're probably right. Version 3 probably has more files than version 2.

 > What is the best approach to fix this?

 Can you shorten your custom MacPorts prefix?

 > Devise a Macports patch, or request a fix upstream?

 We are probably not doing anything special to build this, so if anyone can
 fix it it's upstream.

 > Is there a Macports approach to reduce duplication of the same 1267 very
 long file prefixes?

 Nope. It's their build system causing the absolute paths to be used. You
 could ask them to use relative paths instead of absolute ones, but if they
 are just using autotools and libtool in the normal way then it may not be
 under their control.
