 Sorry about that.
 
 Hogweed seems to come from nettle, and hogweed uses GMP.
 NetBSD comes with GMP, and I assume builtin GMP is used whenever
 possible.
 NetBSD 7.99.25 is around the time netbsd was updating its toolchain to a
 newer version, so it's possible that's the source of the problem.
 At least that's my first guess.
