The jail is not being built inside QEMU. The instructions are for cross-compiling riscv64 packages on an amd64 host. So, a riscv64 jail will be built and installed on the host, including a cross-compiler. QEMU is used in a limited way here, to emulate execution of riscv64 binaries on the host. It is slower than native package building, but faster than full-system emulation. >        (1) are those docs still reasonable ? > These instructions are untouched and untested for a while.

It will (of course) be slow compared to commodity amd64 hardware. Running package builds also stresses the system, and may expose software or hardware instability. So, you can try this, but you will be walking an unmarked path, so to speak. It is fair to expect some minor "horror", but it is possible to build packages.
