I wouldn't be attempting to run these compiled armv7 ports in the jail,
however. Simply cross-compiling them for transplanting into another system.
I'd like to be able to do this for convenience, but I think I may settle
into building things on each system -- it may be slower, but it'll allow me
to help contribute to weeding out problems with completely self-hosted
systems -- the time spent compiling is the least I can do to contribute.
Thanks for the detailed response -- I appreciate the insight into the
limitations of jails and why it's probably not appropriate for what I'm
trying to accomplish.
