For those following along at home:

[13:18 mydev dan ~/src/freebsd/src] % make targets
Supported TARGET/TARGET_ARCH pairs for world and kernel targets
    amd64/amd64
    arm/armv7
    arm64/aarch64
    i386/i386
    powerpc/powerpc
    powerpc/powerpc64
    powerpc/powerpc64le
    riscv/riscv64

Is that list hosted somewhere I can script a fetch? I'm going to guess no. Granted, that list changes infrequently too.

My goal is to automatically maintain this table, from which FreshPorts fetches package information:

freshports.dev=# select * from abi order by name;
id |         name         | active
