 I'm not sure if the solution was that simple all the time, or if 
 anything changed in the meantime:
 
 Adding
 
 BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.gmp+=     gmp>=5.0
 
 to gnutls's Makefile fixes the problem. The native gmp is
 
 $ bmake show-var VARNAME=BUILTIN_VERSION.gmp
 4.3.2
 
 The fix above is stolen from security/nettle, which already worked in 
 the past.
 
 
 In the original PR 52244 I had trouble building print/luatex because of 
 mpfr. The same there:
 
 $ bmake show-var VARNAME=BUILTIN_VERSION.mpfr
 2.4.2
 
 but pkgsrc provides version 4.0.1. luatex includes mpfr without 
 requesting a minimal version.
 
 I think the overall fix would be to check all packages depending on gmp 
 and mpfr and adding appropriate BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS - whatever the 
 minimal version might be in any case. Another fix might be to make SunOS 
 always use pkgsrc's versions and never ever use the builtins.
