Hi,

You are using this script with which release of FreeBSD ? In order to
use this script do you set as tools the cross tools or native i386 (or
any other host arch) ?

I am using currently 7.0 release p2 and i cannot pass the error with
cross build (keeps telling me to set TARGET_ARCH but it is already set
by me as a command-line option of the make)

Best Regards,

Stavros.
