   doc/build-freebsd.md doesn’t mention that Python 3 is required to run the test suite. Currently, gmake check fails without it.

   Makes sense. For the sake of documentation simplicity I would be ok with mentioning python3 as simply one of the dependencies and not just for the tests. I think we do that for other platforms.

   @laanwj thanks for your input. I fully agree with you in general. For FreeBSD in particular, I think a sysadmin can decide whether installing Python 3 is worthwhile, rather than just adding another dependency. That was my thought process.
