OK, I’ve tracked the problems down to operator error; sorry.

For the record, I set the following in mk.conf:

.if !empty(USE_CROSS_COMPILE:M[yY][eE][sS])
    MACHINE_ARCH=        earmv7hf
.endif

.if empty(USE_CROSS_COMPILE:M[yY][eE][sS])
CFLAGS+=                -march=native
CXXFLAGS+=              -march=native
FFLAGS+=                -march=native
.endif

I normally set -march=native for potential performance, but forgot that of course that cannot work for cross-compiling.  Perhaps a reminder is relevant in the file linked above?

There remain problems with specific packages, but those will be new threads, as cross-compiling now generally works.

Cheers,
Brook
