Is the problem with PEAR and php81 directly related to libxml2? Will it 
build if I use an old (vulnerable) libxml2 in a ports overlay? We still 
have a few machines with PHP 8.1 planned to upgrade in September or 
October so I would like to have other packages upgraded instead of 
running the machines for a 3 months without fix for outdated packages 
from 2025Q2.

Thank you for you reply!
