This box above had 14.3-R running fine, all build times were fine, git worked perfectly. Since I needed to upgrade to 15.1-R, git stopped working as it was expected (and presented above).

I started using the upgraded box, then I got another similar arm64 box and installed fresh 15.1-R, everytime the same issue. The one detail I told about opnsense building is that I use pkg 2.3.1_1, as is the version that ships on the images and the port is on opnsense ports github repo. Other than that, regular FreeBSD 15.1-R. I download the github zip file for ports, run make install on the pkg port and lock the package after. Used to work fine, can this be the culprit? I got some messages after upgrade about libpkg not the same version or database version. But I then installed it all over and no more of that.

Again, fine. Both my arm64 failed, even after fresh install. Can the pkg port be the one? Before I forget, both the arm64 run on magnetic HDDs over USB adapter and all other run on SSDs over SATA. Would this make this all happen?

So I got info about llvm changes and got the config to try to solve this (/etc/src.conf), and my point is just that, I need to build vanilla FreeBSD 15.1-R on arm64 (just using older pkg, I can try to not change now if people think may help) so I can have world and kernel using llvm options from 14.X.

Start distinct subject from the main point of your post:

Were you successful at significantly decreasing that "5 days" time
frame? If yes, you may want to be very explicit about what you changed
that made the difference.

The official arm64 build server build times suggests that 14.4 now takes
longer than 14.3 did --and that 15.1 takes even longer, as I remember.

("Suggests" is tied to: none of the examples are re-runs of the exact
same ports tree content --or, mostly, the same package subset. Comparing
the fairly uncommon attempts to rebuild everything tend to be what I
look at for such comparison/contrast activities.)

End distinct subject.

Of note: no "Resolving timed out after . . ." but the later "error: RPC
failed" still happened.

There is variability in the above count, previously:
"error: 73 bytes of body are still expected"
