How about not using a chrooted environment, but a whole virtual machine? You can build the TinyBSD host exactly like you need the binaries on your target and then extract the essentials for the boot image. Works like a charme here, speeds up debugging a lot and raises the question why support for ports was added at all. Markus - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dipl. Ing.
