1. Temporarily revert commit 4bd01d6ae016 
or
2. test Alan's patch from https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/dev-commits-src-all/2026-August/077582.html

and see if this resolves your issue. If not, try 'git bisect'.

I think a fix will be committed soon, as poudriere is broken and some regression tests are failing.
