Research direction
Start by reading the linked OpenZFS issue 11357 and the Void package template context to understand the reported aarch64 failure on Linux 6.2 and newer. Determine whether a distributable package change is possible; done means the package no longer breaks for the affected configuration and the template can reference the resolution.
