Hello Stuart,
thank you very much for your helpfulness. I followed your instructions and
came quite a step forward. But now I am stuck at the following error:

ld.lld: error: stray --end-group
c++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see
invocation)
gmake[1]: *** [overlapped-checker.target.mk:134:
/usr/obj/ports/node-20.18.2/node-v20.18.2/out/Release/overlapped-checker]
Error 1

The complete error message is below. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Best regards,
Martin
