In the past, I've walked through the bootstrapping steps to get a full sysroot to do the build of the rest of the system. I have thought of simply downloading a base.txz to get the headers, but I dislike that idea because I should be able to bootstrap everything without involving precompiled/prebuilt base.txz since all sources are available. That's likely the best path forward (so the binaries you are building for FreeBSD/arm are all built with gcc/clang --sysroot /path/to/arm/sysroot). Please note that I am still at the stage when I am trying to build the cross tool chain, so the TARGET at this stage is still amd64 (not arm64). Because of this there is no sysroot yet. That's why I was asking at 2 for a simple way to install the headers, and if that made sense 1.1. Does it? I preferred to try amd64 since I know there are some things to be ironed out for arm64/aarch64, while for amd64 things should be pretty solid. I expect that after I make my cross tool chain (to be ran on Linux) I will be able to generate binaries for FreeBSD and can buildworld and buildkernel no matter the TARGET (after building the proper toolchain).
