Have you tried using Crochet for this sort of thing?

Since it was designed from the ground up for cross-building
bootable images, it should avoid these issues.

The only fundamental limit right now is that Crochet uses
the host system to build the UFS filesystems, so it can't
build big-endian MIPS images on i386, for example.
