No problem :)

In fact, I always regenerate the bootstrap for aarch64, I don't use the
previous version of the port. One reason is that Cargo is statically
linked to libssh2 in this case (Cargo from the port is dynamically
linked to this library).

Another reason would be to try Rust on aarch64 and make sure it can
self-host. However, ref11-aarch64 doesn't have Python installed anymore
and it's required by Rust's build system. It was installed in the past,
but I admit I didn't ask why it was removed.

So for the past updates, I cross-compile from a FreeBSD 11 amd64 VM.
