 The Makefile says:
 # $NetBSD: Makefile,v 1.34 2024/08/25 06:18:58 wiz Exp $
 PKGNAME=                swi-prolog-lite-${SWIPLVERS}
 PKGREVISION=            3
 
 and Makefile.common says:
 SWIPLVERS=              8.0.2
 
 This should be from pkgsrc-2024Q3.
 
 I've tried "make package" on NetBSD/amd64, but there the build fails with
 epic error spew at
 [ 74%] Building C object packages/ssl/CMakeFiles/plugin_ssl4pl.dir/ssl4pl.c.o
 with _lots_ of "this is deprecated" warnings and finally a bunch of errors
 that indicate bitrot (boiling down to "you are trying to use _really_ old
 stuff from the ssl libs"). Not surprised, given that pkgsrc has version 8.0.2
 (upstream indicates release on Tue Mar 5 13:19:09 2019) and upstream at
 https://www.swi-prolog.org/download/stable/src/ is currently at 9.2.9:
 swipl-9.2.9.tar.gz
 
 The current version 9.2.9 blows up _much_ earlier due to what looks like
 mismatched assumptions about networking APIs for IPv6.
