https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:armv7/base_latest/ has 15.snap20240726110821
and updating to it leads to avoiding the hang-up in my dlopen_test.c testing.
It is based on:

126	static inline size_t
127	round_up(size_t size)
128	{
129		if (size % _thr_page_size != 0)
130			size = ((size / _thr_page_size) + 1) *
131			    _thr_page_size;
132		return size;
133	}

that uses the _aeabi_* routine(s) in standard armv7 builds.

But that no longer causes the recursive locking deadlock
problem.

So, it looks like updating the kernel and world on ampere2 and
enabling builds of main-armv7-default should no longer have
main-armv7-default hang-up during graphviz installation (or
analogous contexts). Hopefully, that means that
main-armv7-default builds will then complete and be distributed.
