Hi,
I spent a bit of time investigating the Git Cirrus-CI failures on FreeBSD.
It seems something goes wrong with the Perl installation, as most failures
are in t9001-send-email.sh, and the error messages are:
ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.32/mach/CORE/libperl.so.5.32: Undefined symbol "strerror_l@FBSD_1.6"
The first instance is in t9001.6. (See for example [1]).
I know next to nothing about Perl or FreeBSD, but simply changing our image
to FreeBSD 13.0 makes all failures in t9001 disappear [2]:

Is this something that we should do ? Or should we stick to FreeBSD 12
and try to debug this installation problem ?
Cheers,
Philippe.
