Comment (by mascguy):

 Replying to [comment:31 kakuhen]:
 > I am here to report that coreutils @8.32_1 successfully installs on OS X
 10.5.8 (ppc), but the most recent update to coreutils results in the
 repeated "confdir" paths until we surpass path length limits. Attached is
 a log of the build process for coreutils @9.1_0 on the system in question.

 As a test, you might want to try installing `coreutils-devel`. While the
 two are currently identical, the latter did build successfully for me on
 10.5 PPC back a month ago. (That's probably just a fluke, particularly if
 all of this is caused by a race condition. But still worth a try!)

 {{{
 $ sudo port -f deactivate coreutils
 $ sudo port -N install coreutils-devel
 }}}
