I was unable to reproduce this error but the location of the error
is the same as the one I reported in pkg/59478 for asterisk22.
I found a way to get it to build here:

https://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-bugs/2025/06/24/msg074140.html

Does applying those changes to the asterisk19 package
allow the build to proceed? If so, it might shed some light
on what is going wrong.
