This branch works on a fresh install of NetBSD 10.1.
One small caveat is that users may have a
/usr/pkg/etc/pkgin/repositories.confpinned to an earlier quarterly, e.g.https://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/x86_64/10.0_2025Q4/Allso maybe a note in
doc/build-netbsd.mdor in the release notes about the minimum supported netbsd version, but I'm also OK as-is as I suspect that not many users do this but I am unfamiliar. -

The build notes for *BSD systems are maintained to be correct for the release explicitly mentioned at their top. However, we do our best to ensure that Bitcoin Core builds and runs on all supported releases, which is currently true except for OpenBSD.
If you believe that our *BSD build notes could be improved, a PR is always welcome :)
