I am cc'ing the persons originally describing a solution for my
problem.
I would like to cross-compile packages for FreeBSD on a Raspberry Pi
(arm6) on a stronger machine.
Various web-sources describe how to cross-compile kernel and world for
arm6/RaspberryPi [1,2,3]. Roughly a year ago, reportedly, ports have
been build successfully in chrooted environments, but have failed in
poudriere jails [4,5].
I have not found any more recent information on that approach. From
[5] i gather the issue in [4] has been fixed, so I will try to employ
poudriere to build packages for my raspberry on a stronger machine.
My idea is outlined as such: Build a 9.2-RELEASE jail, cross-compile a
arm6 obj tree in that jail and set poudriere make.conf options to
TARGET=arm TARGET_ARCH=armv6 TARGET_CPUARCH=armv6
PATH=/usr/obj/arm.armv6/usr/src/tmp/usr/bin:${PATH} CONFIGURE_HOST=amd64
STRIP_CMD=true
Has anybody tried a similar approach or can comment on my idea? Should
that be pointless, I do not want to waste much time trying.

Punctuation matters:
"Lets eat Grandma or Lets eat, Grandma" - Punctuation saves lives.
"A panda eats shoots and leaves" or "A panda eats, shoots, and leaves" -
Punctuation teaches proper biology.
"With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead." (RFC 1925)
