I’ve been playing with building ports for ARM on an AMD64 machine via a bunch of tools. The duct tape and bailing wire is a bit thick with this method, but if you keep at it, this should work.
1. build armv6 chroot:
make buildworld TARGET=arm TARGET_ARCH=armv6
make installworld TARGET=arm TARGET_ARCH=armv6 DESTDIR=/armv6
make distribution TARGET=arm TARGET_ARCH=armv6 DESTDIR=/armv6
2. build xdev
make xdev TARGET=arm TARGET_ARCH=armv6 NOSHARED=y
3. move xdev into chroot
mv /usr/armv6-freebsd /armv6/usr/
4. add toolchain to make.conf:
CFLAGS+=-integrated-as
CC=/usr/armv6-freebsd/usr/bin/cc
CPP=/usr/armv6-freebsd/usr/bin/cpp
CXX=/usr/armv6-freebsd/usr/bin/c++
AS=/usr/armv6-freebsd/usr/bin/as
NM=/usr/armv6-freebsd/usr/bin/nm
LD=/usr/armv6-freebsd/usr/bin/ld
OBJCOPY=/usr/armv6-freebsd/usr/bin/objcopy
SIZE=/usr/armv6-freebsd/usr/bin/size
STRIPBIN=/usr/armv6-freebsd/usr/bin/strip
5. Install qemu-static-user from ports and copy into jail:
pkg instlal qemu-static-user
mkdir -p /armv6/usr/local/bin
cp /usr/local/bin/qemu-arm /armv6/usr/local/bin/
6. setup binmiscctl to handle armv6 translations:
binmiscctl add armv6 –interpreter “/usr/local/bin/qemu-arm” –magic “x7fx45x4cx46x01x01x01x00x00x00x00x00x00x00x00x00x02x00x28x00” –mask “xffxffxffxffxffxffxffx00xffxffxffxffxffxffxffxffxfexffxffxff” –size 20 –set-enabled
7. mount devfs and ports if needed
mount -t devfs devfs /armv6/dev
mount -t nullfs /usr/ports /armv6/usr/ports
8. chroot
chroot /armv6
