Are you using a quarterly? Which FreeBSD ABI (version and archtecture)?

For aarch64 and arm64 quarterly is a 2.6.2_1 but almost all the latest
for them are at 2.7.5 (or, for aarch64 for FreeBSD 13: 2.7.4). (Based on
what freshports.org reports.)

It might be that quarterly for the various FreeBSD ABIs should be updated.
