    devel/nasm: Update to 2.16.01

    The file files/patch-d85890aa.c is being removed as it is now obsolete:
    the commit from which the patch was taken is already included in the
    update.


Seems like the patch is still necessary or a new patch required. The behavior
I see looks like the "circular dependency in make" described in the commit of
the patch:

commit ff62b402083eb32f63b01b874953fde03bd02e21
Author: Niclas Zeising <zeising@FreeBSD.org>

    devel/nasm: Update to 2.15.05

    update devel/nasm to 2.15.05
    Add upstream patch to fix circular dependency in make.
    Add perl as a build time dependency, it is needed now.
    Disable RDOFF in the default package, since it is going away upstream
