Comment (by ballapete):

 I just saw that #comment:11 had some typos and corrected them. Supposedly
 the limit of the maximal length of a path name is the limit factor,
 probably around 1024, and it might happen that on the 58. level this value
 is already exceeded. Which makes `rm` fail in MacPorts. I think I'll
 augment configure's test programme a bit more this weekend…
