Merry Christmas 2024 fellow FreeBSD ARM users.
I wave my hand, that I have encountered an error that Marius Schamschula details below.

A compile-time constant is computed at the time the code is compiled, while a run-time constant can only be computed while the application is running. A compile-time constant will have the same value each time an application runs, while a run-time constant may change each time.Sep 15, 2021

gnutls_3.8.8 fails to compile and has a single error.  Other Poudriere packages depend on gnutls_3.8.8 and are skipped from compiling.  What do you suggest to fix this problem?  I am patient to wait until developers have a solution ready for gnutls.   Like first initializing group_x25519 with a NIL value.??
