Long story short - I successfully reverted OS to 13.2 (monolithic nature 
of the FreeBSD makes it way easier compared to most of the Linux 
distros) and all works perfectly again.

Do you know if i can help to fix crashed builds or contribute somehow to 
make armv6 packages built for 13.2? For myself, i found that building 
packages on poudriere running in native arm64 servers is way more 
efficient compared to qemu on amd64, and now I am running the full build 
on Azure instance. I know that we are using some arm64 build servers, 
happy to contribute to having armv6/armv7 builds running on them.

Thank you, Oleksij
