That website already lists ferrum as existing in OpenBSD ports, but
that doesn't seem true. Did not find anything on the other BSDs
either, although that website claims to have ports in net, free, open
and dragonfly. Also doesn't exist in homebrew for macos.

Is this a sad AI joke?

Seems like an odd distname?

> DISTFILES = ferrumc-v0.3.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

And this should be a source package and not precompiled amd64 linux bins, right?

Even if there was something x86_64 specific about it, the openbsd port
Makefile should probably have some ONLY_FOR_ARCH so that all the rest
would not try to build yet another llvm-project which doesn't work
later on.

Also the name ferrumc seems to clash with a minecraft implementation in rust.
