Harbormaster completed remote builds in B45450: Diff 105632.May 2 2022, 5:20 PM

I haven't gotten a full world build to finish with this, but it makes it pretty far. I'm up to the same failures I currently see on amd64 in rescue.

In theory we could have a single toolchain instead of separate armv6 and armv7 compilers, but we would need to start setting -march unconditionally for arm in <bsd.cpu.mk> whereas separate compilers here avoids requiring that.

This is fine. armv6 likely has a more limited time frame than armv7 and it certainly has a much smaller audience.
Having said that, this may help unless we wanted to opt for the more intrusive bsd.cpu.mk idea. We did it for MIPS, but there were always issues with that for edge cases, users of gmake not picking it up, etc.
