Oh, if you're seeing lang/python/3 then you have a -current
ports tree. That is no good for 7.5 release.

Use "-r OPENBSD_7_5" on your cvs checkout as explained in
https://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.html ("Getting the ports and
xenocara Trees")

Or change the mount entry for the filesystem holding /usr/ports/pobj
to use wxallowed.

Or set WRKOBJDIR in /etc/mk.conf to a directory on a filesystem
which is marked wxallowed already, or is changed to use wxallowed.

Or rust, for that matter.
