Yes -- try applying the attached patch (which will deal with the
unused function warnings) and building as follows:

$ cd src
$ patch -p1 </path/to/pr58932-testnoacpitimer.patch
$ ./build.sh -O ../obj -T ../tools -U -u -m amd64 -j4 -N1 tools kernel=GENERIC

(Adjust -j4 to the number of cores you actually have, or want to use
for the build.  It'll take a while, so you might want to reserve one
of your cores for tetris(5) while you wait!)

This will produce a kernel at:

../obj/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC/netbsd

You can install it by just copying it to, say, /netbsdHEAD-20241224,
and then boot it by typing `boot netbsdHEAD-20241224' at the
bootloader prompt, or add it as a boot option in your boot.cfg file.
