pkg_add packages for evbearmv6hf-el: "Cannot execute ELF binary"

["William D. Jones" <thor0505%comcast.net@localhost>]

Hello all,

I am not sure whether this is user error or a legitimate bug, so I will post 
here before filing a PR. The following thread may be related:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2013/12/21/msg023935.html

I am attempting to get my NTFS hard disk recognized under Raspberry Pi so 
that I may transfer files to and from the device as secondary storage. 
Currently, any attempt to mount the device using mount_ntfs returns 
"Operation not supported by device", even using the ro option. At least on 
FreeBSD as of August 2013, mount_ntfs is broken, so I figured installing 
ntfs-3g is the solution. Compiling ntfs-3g from scratch is not ideal on my 
Pi currently (see below), so I attempted to use pkg_add (with -f option) to 
install from:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/evbarm/6.1/filesystems/fuse-ntfs-3g-1.1120.tgz

pkg_add works correctly and installs the package, but all attempts to run 
the program end with the following error message:
rpi-ptrain# ntfs-3g
-sh: Cannot execute ELF binary /usr/pkg/bin/ntfs-3g
This also applies to other packages, such as python.

Is the expected behavior due to ARM family mismatch, intentional changes in 
the kernel facilities between 6.1 and 6.99 that make the packages out of 
date, or is this a legitimate program loader bug that I may have found? 
Source that I have manually compiled and placed in /usr/local (including 
wget) works perfectly fine, and for the time being, I suppose the following 
git repository is an unofficial workaround: 
https://github.com/ebijun/NetBSD/tree/master/RPI/RPIimage/Image

Yes, I could place the kernel sources on my host and compile ntfs-3g in that 
manner. However, that is currently not convenient for me when I effectively 
have a machine at  home dedicated to building kernels/holding one copy of 
the CVS tree. I have not figured out the best way to cross-compile packages 
beyond what the NetBSD source tree provides (userland and kernel).

As always, thank you for any guidance in helping me understand the problem 
:).

Sincerely,

William D. Jones
