On two types of Cortex-A72 context
# make -C  /usr/ports/devel/llvm10 config

produced:

BE_NATIVE Backend(s) for this architecture ()

The same for each of:

# make -C  /usr/ports/devel/llvm80 config
# make -C  /usr/ports/devel/llvm90 config
# make -C  /usr/ports/devel/llvm11 config
# make -C  /usr/ports/devel/llvm12 config

But this turns out to be because:

# make -C  /usr/ports/devel/llvm10 -V ARCH
aarch64

yet the Makefiles have a test for arm64 instead:

.elif ${ARCH} == arm64
_NATIVE_BACKENDS=       AAarch64


FYI (from one of the test environments):

# uname -apKU
FreeBSD CA72_4c8G_ZFS 13.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE #0 releng/13.0-n244733-ea31abc261ff-dirty: Thu Apr 29 21:53:20 PDT 2021     root at CA72_4c8G_ZFS:/usr/obj/BUILDs/13_0R-CA72-nodbg-clang/usr/13_0R-src/arm64.aarch64/sys/GENERIC-NODBG-CA72  arm64 aarch64 1300139 1300139
