cross-compiling for arm6 with poudriere - has anybody done that?

[Auelien Martin]

Hi Christopher,

I wanted to do the same thing, but normally you can't cross compile 
package in poudriere as it said in the website. (line 4)

https://fossil.etoilebsd.net/poudriere/doc/trunk/doc/index.wiki

Apparently as discussed in freebsd-fr there are some patches to allow 
jail to reconize ARM binary, but it's complicated.

The best way seems to use pouriere in qemu ARM box :)

Cheers,
Aurelien
