Hmmm, this is about poudriere behavior.

https://www.freshports.org/devel/cmake/
The latest cmake for FreeBSD:13:armv6 is out of version.
It is likely that this has not yet reached the cmake build, and I guess that the xsimd build will come even later.
If for some reason the cmake build fails, xsimd will skip the build.

https://www.freshports.org/devel/ninja/
The latest ninja for FreeBSD:13:armv6 seems fine.

I am not certain because I have rarely had skipping occur in my poudriere, but I think that the skipped package will not exist in the repository.

Thank you for the explanation of other ways to reach IPv6.
I have had an native IPv6 line for 5 years. However, I have not used it until now because it is a hassle to configure ipfw for it :)
