FWIW, I just managed to self-host on BeagleBone Black at r253514.

* Cross-build an image.
* Copy source tree onto the image.
* Boot the image
* Native:  buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel, installworld
* System reboots and seems to work okay.

There are some rough corners:  buildworld crashed
once, UFS crashed once, SSHD crashes consistently.

I haven't experimented with building ports on this revision yet.

Definitely not perfect, but getting better …  it has been a while
since I saw a native rebuild work to completion.
