Re: poudriere-devel based aarch64 llvm16-16.0.0.r3 build got: bad make -VBE_FREEBSD_PLIST_FILES result leads to "pkg-static: pkg_checksum_hash_sha256_file(read failed): Is a directory"

[Looks like the problem is not on the pkg side of things.
I adjusted the subject to indicate the newly identified
context as well.]

I think I finally figured out what to look at to see
the basic problem for devel/llvm16 used via BE_NATIVE
for aarch64 (and, so, arm* as well).

In the below, note the "llvm16/lib/clang/16/include/"
which is a directory

# make -VBE_NATIVE_PLIST_FILES
llvm16/lib/libLLVMAArch64AsmParser.a llvm16/lib/libLLVMAArch64CodeGen.a llvm16/lib/libLLVMAArch64Desc.a llvm16/lib/libLLVMAArch64Disassembler.a llvm16/lib/libLLVMAArch64Info.a llvm16/lib/libLLVMAArch64Utils.a llvm16/lib/libLLVMAMDGPUAsmParser.a llvm16/lib/libLLVMAMDGPUCodeGen.a llvm16/lib/libLLVMAMDGPUDesc.a llvm16/lib/libLLVMAMDGPUDisassembler.a llvm16/lib/libLLVMAMDGPUInfo.a llvm16/lib/libLLVMAMDGPUTargetMCA.a llvm16/lib/libLLVMAMDGPUUtils.a llvm16/lib/libLLVMExegesisAArch64.a llvm16/lib/libLLVMWebAssemblyAsmParser.a llvm16/lib/libLLVMWebAssemblyCodeGen.a llvm16/lib/libLLVMWebAssemblyDesc.a llvm16/lib/libLLVMWebAssemblyDisassembler.a llvm16/lib/libLLVMWebAssemblyInfo.a llvm16/lib/libLLVMWebAssemblyUtils.a  llvm16/lib/clang/16/include/

(For reference, llvm15 does not end up with a llvm15/lib/clang/15/include/ listed.)

By contrast for llvm16, -VBE_FREEBSD_PLIST_FILES ends up listing explicit files
inside the directory:

. . . llvm16/lib/clang/16/include/arm_bf16.h llvm16/lib/clang/16/include/arm_cde.h llvm16/lib/clang/16/include/arm_fp16.h llvm16/lib/clang/16/include/arm_mve.h llvm16/lib/clang/16/include/arm_neon.h llvm16/lib/clang/16/include/arm_sve.h llvm16/lib/clang/16/include/riscv_vector.h

It would appear to me that the llvm16/lib/clang/16/include/arm_*.h files possibly
be present for AArch64 because of its coverage of arm* as well, just like for
BE_FREEBSD . (But such does not seem to be the case for devel/llvm15 's 
BE_NATIVE either, so I may be wrong. For both llvm16 and llvm15 , _NATIVE_BACKENDS
does not list ARM for aarch64 , just AArch64 . I do not know why since armv7 is
listed in kern.supported_archs: aarch64 armv7 .)

I'll note that there is no _BE_INCS_AArch64 in the Makefile (both llvm16 and llvm15)
and there is:

.for BE in FREEBSD NATIVE STANDARD
.for BE_ARCH in ${${BE}_BACKENDS}
_BE_LIBS_${BE}+=        ${_BE_LIBS_COMMON:S/^/${BE_ARCH}/} \
                        ${_BE_LIBS_${BE_ARCH}:S/^/${BE_ARCH}/} \
                        ${_BE_LIBS_BACKWARDS_${BE_ARCH}:S/$/${BE_ARCH}/}
_BE_INCS_${BE}+=        ${_BE_INCS_${BE_ARCH}}
.endfor
.endfor

but NATIVE_BACKENDS excludes ARM (in both llvm16 and llvm15).

At least the "llvm16/lib/clang/16/include/" (no file listed) for
-VBE_NATIVE_PLIST_FILES should be eliminated. Possibly the arm_*.h
files under that path should be present.
