Comment (by ryandesign):

 The log in #69770 shows that the configure argument
 `gl_cv_func_getcwd_succeeds_beyond_4k=no` is being used and recognized:

 {{{
 :info:configure checking whether getcwd succeeds when 4k < cwd_length <
 16k... (cached) no
 }}}

 and yet the problem occurs. This seems to tell us that the
 [https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2024-03/msg00250.html
 developer's suggestion] to use `gl_cv_func_getcwd_succeeds_beyond_4k=no`
 does not work and we should go back to the previous solution we were
 using.

 Please try editing the file
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs/ports/_resources/port1.0/group/gnulib-1.0.tcl
 (or wherever it is on your system if you sync from a different source) and
 changing `gl_cv_func_getcwd_succeeds_beyond_4k=no` to
 `gl_cv_func_getcwd_path_max=yes`. Then `sudo port clean` the affected port
 and try again.
