~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you for pointing to me the referenced fix in gnutls github issues, Sir
Sending this email now.  Already much to wordy, when trying to be clear
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Clang --version  16.06  from FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT

This is the version of Clang, I am using to compile C code on FreeBSD version 14.0   
YES, I HAVE a messed up, "updated build" of /usr/src  self built kernel installed to a Raspberry Pi 4B.
hardware  BCM2711  with 8 gigs of dram memory.  YES, I do understand that this is NOT SUPPORTED BUILD.   I am showing that CLANG version 16.06 has a problem with the gnutls 3.8.8 source code file build, in file  groups.c line 93:2.   The use of a compile-time constant value that is working for other CLANG versions is NOT WORKING for this CLANG 16.06 version.  

1.) What is your version of CLANG you are using with Poudriere package builder?  No problems when you are compiling with CLANG 15.xx?

2.) question,  since Poudriere package builder, checks version numbers and downloads newer version code from the repository to replace older versions.   Will there be a newer version of gnutls 3.8.9 code that gets downloaded to replace gnutls 3.8.8 source code, and thereby fixes the source code build, so that many other packages relying on gnutls can be subsequently built?

Yes, the compile-time-constant problem was referenced on github.com/gnutls as an issue. So will eventually be fixed.   Should I be performing another task to update the source code installed in /usr/src  or /usr/ports/security/gnutls    like executing  
1.)  FreeBSD portsnap.    
2.)  Or this  git   pull --ff-only  command?   Yes, I do see that I need to Read the Fine Manual and other documents to answer my noob question here.
3.)  Some other procedure to update source code for Poudriere?
4.)  My hope was to keep re-starting Poudriere pkglist build every few days, until the compile-time-constant problem fixed itself.   I will send this email now and then start Poudriere Package list builder again to see if problem cleared itself.
5.)  I do not think 14.1 or 14.2 see a problem using the aarch64 clang compiler, because using earlier version clang 14.xx or 15.xx versus clang 16.06 I get from FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT or  15.0-STABLE environments.  Yes, I might have created my own problem using mismatche unsupported versions of CLANG.
5.)   Your methods and suggestions are welcome.   Maybe one can edit  groups.c file to get around the compile-time-constant problem  using a  ptr= (NIL)   or other setup code.

>gnutls_3.8.8 fails to compile and has a single error.  Other Poudriere packages depend on gnutls_3.8.8 and are skipped from compiling.  What do you suggest to fix this problem?  I am patient to wait until developers have a solution ready for gnutls.   Like first initializing group_x25519 with a NIL value.??
