My script do this:

rm -rf /armdist
chflags -R 0 /armdist
rm -rf /armdist
mkdir /armdist
make TARGET_ARCH=arm TARGET_CPUTYPE=xscale TARGET_BIG_ENDIAN=true buildworld
make TARGET_ARCH=arm TARGET_CPUTYPE=xscale TARGET_BIG_ENDIAN=true DESTDIR=/armdist installworld
make TARGET_ARCH=arm TARGET_CPUTYPE=xscale TARGET_BIG_ENDIAN=true DESTDIR=/armdist distribution
