stackpointer. Userland expects the kernel to pass it an aligned sp and
pass a pointer to the arguments in x0. The kernel side was updated in
r289502, 3 months ago.

The requirement is for a GCC-compatible compiler and not necessarily
GCC itself. However, we currently expect any compiler used for building
the whole of FreeBSD to be GCC-compatible and many things will break if
not; there's no longer a need to have an explicit test for this in csu.

When enough time has passed for users to update their userland the kernel
fix will be applied. This will change the ABI to have x0 point to the args
and sp be correctly aligned.
It is expected this compatibility code can be removed when the kernel and
qemu usermode emulation have both been updated for the new ABI.
This fixes clang failures, and most likely other crashes.

only adds support for kernel-toolchain, however it is expected further
changes to add kernel and userland support will be committed as they are
reviewed.
As our copy of binutils is too old the devel/aarch64-binutils port needs
to be installed to pull in a linker.
To build either TARGET needs to be set to arm64, or TARGET_ARCH set to
aarch64. The latter is set so uname -p will return aarch64 as existing
third party software expects this.
