As background, I am using numpy, not really intentionally, but because
homeassistant depends on it indirectly, as does gpsd via py-matplotlib.
I have a RPI3, netbsd-9, and pkgsrc 2023Q3. Importing numpy results
in the following error (full output at end):
ImportError:
/usr/pkg/lib/python3.11/site-packages/numpy/core/_multiarray_umath.so:
Undefined PLT symbol "rintl" (symnum = 157)
In the sources, the definition is guarded by
#ifdef __HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE
See src/lib/libm/src/s_rintl.c which seems to be the same 9/10/current.
I have previously accumulated some diffs in my sources to deal with this
kind of issue:

As I look at POSIX, which defers to C99, it seems that long double as a
type and long double function variants are required, even if long double
can be equal to double.
On arm, long double seems to be just double, and _HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE isn't
defined, leading to these symbols being missing from libm. But they
are still in the headers.
I suspect that the right approach is to either systematicaly add the
above, or something similar, but I'm not adequately certain to commit vs
patch locally.
What do our floating point experts think?

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE!
Importing the numpy C-extensions failed. This error can happen for
many reasons, often due to issues with your setup or how NumPy was
installed.
We have compiled some common reasons and troubleshooting tips at:
https://numpy.org/devdocs/user/troubleshooting-importerror.html
Please note and check the following:
* The Python version is: Python3.11 from "/usr/pkg/bin/python3.11"
* The NumPy version is: "1.25.2"
and make sure that they are the versions you expect.
Please carefully study the documentation linked above for further help.
