Thanks for the report!  The port looks pretty good to me.  The one thing
that I notice is that Mosh needs Perl libraries for IPv6.  It would
prefer to use IO::Socket::IP for IPv6, if available, or it can fall back
to IO::Socket::INET6.  So your port should depend on one of these.

Given that mosh compiles and runs on my Raspberry Pi with
FreeBSD-CURRENT on an RPi, which has an ARMv6 CPU, I would guess it is a
gas issue.

Since you're fetching the distribution tarball, you don't have to.
