Note that if you rebuild the above source you will get FreeBSD-CURRENT, not  
FreeBSD 12.x-RELEASE, which, from earlier posts, is what you want to  
distribute.

What I believe you need to do is to make a patch against the appropriate  
12-RELEASE source of the nxprtc driver changes in CURRENT and then rebuild  
that to get your fixed version of the 12.x-RELEASE nxprtc driver.

Cheers,

Paul.
