Comment (by ballapete):

 I could prove that the cleaning routine actually runs – but it does not
 delete. So I tried to use other functions, `unlink()` or `system()` and
 feeding it with UNIX commands like `rmdir` or `rmdir -p` or `rm -rf`.
 Adding `perror()` I saw in `config.log` always an initial error report à
 la:

 {{{
 «utility»: No space left on device
 }}}

 and then reports about an `Operation not permitted` or a `Directory not
 empty`. My conclusion is that neither from C nor from MacPorts exactly
 1024 characters long path names can be deleted. I proved that also by
 saving the `conftest` programme under a different name and then running it
 manually. It failed too…
