Hi Thomas,

I'm followoing pkgsrc_current on NetBSD9_Stable - amd64.

I've been bumping things to pkgsrc gcc10 (GCC_REQD=10 in Makefile) when I
get these odd build failures. I'm of course not sure this is correct or
optimal, but it usually gets them to build and they seem to run correctly.

I had to do this, just this week, on gnutls build due to this very error.
