Hi,

It seems it my fault, partially. Apparently specifying DESTDIR for any other
target than install is not a good idea (although some .depend files looks 
right, go figure).
So instead you have to do
make TARGET_ARCH=arm TOOLS_PREFIX=/usr/cross depend all
make TARGET_ARCH=arm TOOLS_PREFIX=/usr/cross DESTDIR=/usr/cross install

I've updated freebsd_arm.txt to reflect this.

Thanks for reporting, and sorry for the trouble.

Cheers,

Olivier
