Modern head (12) should no longer have the (same?)
buildworld problems now that head and stable/11
both have the 2 fixes that fix the fork behavior
(avoiding trashing a special register and
copy-on-write now working).

It would be interesting to see how things go now
if you rebuilt the Odroid-C2 based on modern head
(12).

FreeBSD for Odroid-C2 may go easier now that the
fork problems are addressed.

Both Pine64+ 2GB and rpi3 are now well behaved for
buildworld. They were not before.
