Description Sean Bruno freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-06-08 14:30:16 UTC 
Crossbuilding ARM64 results in a bootable system that emits devmatch errors:

Starting devd.
devmatch: Can't read linker hints file.
devmatch: Can't read linker hints file.
devmatch: Can't read linker hints file.


This is repaired by running kldxref -R /boot

This should now be fixed in recent main as kldxref is now a cross-tool.  The changes have not yet been merged anywhere though I will likely merge them at least for 14.1 (not sure if they will merge back cleanly to stable/13).
