I'll post a broken list soon. It may not be perfect -- the last bulk
results for HEAD on -current are from 2+ months ago.

AIUI the build failures seen on Solaris and Dragonfly have been fixed.
What's left that I know about is:
 - maybe another build failure on MacOS;
 - the "Cairo text problems" issue on pkgsrc-users;
 - PR 46926;
 - the fact that FreeBSD apparently reverted this cairo version for
   reasons that haven't yet been raked up.

I have no idea what to do about this. My inclination would be to
revert it and go back after branching.

Python (all versions) does not build on very recent -current, probably
since the last openssl changes as the build crashes in openssl.

libffi is an innocent bystander.

Something definitely needs to be done about this, but I'm not sure
what.
