upgrading arm6hf

[bob prohaska]

On my RPI2 the OS build/install cycle stopped at installkernel
(sorry, not buildworld) reporting an unknown architecture.

Using TARGET_ARCH=armv6 allowed the kernel install to complete,
with a normal reboot. However, an attempt to update and re-run
buildworld without options triggered the error
bmake[1]: "/usr/src/Makefile.inc1" line 242: Unknown target armv6hf:arm.

Invoking buildworld with TARGET_ARCH=armv6 then produces
bmake[1]: "/usr/src/Makefile.inc1" line 266: To cross-build, set TARGET_ARCH.

World and kernel were thus built with no options but the kernel was installed with
TARGET_ARCH=armv6, apparently causing an identity crisis 8-)

Uname -a reports

What's the best way to repair the damage?

Thanks for reading,
