I confirm that the first attempt to build the port fails, but I encounter
fails releativly often due to double free inside lld [1], I assume that it
was again lld and simple re-run build and it had compiled and installed and
I write reply to you from

  GNU Emacs 29.4 (build 1, x86_64-unknown-openbsd, GTK+ Version 3.24.42, cairo version 1.18.0) of 2024-06-22

but right now I've scrolled up the terminal which I've used to build it, and
it indeed had failed on regenerating emacs.info as:

   gmake[2]: Entering directory '/usr/ports/pobj/emacs-29.4-gtk3/emacs-29.4/doc/emacs'

But switching to print/texinfo helps to build it without error from the
first attemp. I did it as:
