After some more debugging, I understand now what the actual problem is:

The arguments for the `make`-command assembled by the rule
`checked_ports_exists` can get quite long for many archives even though
it doesn't contain any duplicates. As a workaround for the CI pipeline,
I can just disable this check. Do you think it's worth creating a proper
fix that works without passing all input as command line parameter?

Cheers,
Roman
