Hi Mark,

I reported it already to Devin. The culprit is
https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=bdb561843e865eaa5bbdc5394ed9d9c91136240c


The following patch
diff --git a/sys/arm64/linux/linux_emul_md.c b/sys/arm64/linux/linux_emul_md.c
index 9dd507ad4f49..e55d3b712056 100644
--- a/sys/arm64/linux/linux_emul_md.c
+++ b/sys/arm64/linux/linux_emul_md.c

#include <sys/param.h>

#include <sys/proc.h>
+#include <sys/imgact.h>
  #include <compat/linux/linux_emul.h>
#include <compat/linux/linux_mmap.h>

fixes it for me.

Best regards
