Thanks. That helped me get to the next issue to figure out.

I eventually found that https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm64/rpi3 has a "Package 
Repo" section with the alternate ABI information for pkg and also how to get 
port builds going (putting an ld in place) --as if the material was RPI3 
specific. https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm64/rpi3 says:

(I have the root filesystem on a USB SSD.)

My context is a Pine64+ 2GB --which https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm64 does not 
even mention as covered by TARGET_ARCH=aarch64 . But crochet is set up for 
pine64's and uses TARGET_ARCH=aarch64 style builds.
