Two kernel bugs affecting package builds (link:https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=267788[PR 267788] and link:https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=274705[PR 274705]) were identified and addressed, with these two alone being responsible for around 900 failed packages. The most common other causes for build failures include * lack of FreeBSD-specific armv7 support code * data alignment issues (armv7 being one of the few architectures for which we do not support unaligned memory accesses) * address space exhaustion during the build processes (usually LTO related; link:https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=274705[PR 274705] addressed many cases) * lack of OpenMP support on armv7 FreeBSD If you are a user of the FreeBSD ports collection on armv7, do not hesitate to file a bug report on our link:https://bugzilla.freebsd.org[bug tracker] should there be any issues.
