should aarch64 cross-build work at amd64?

Glen,

The more I read this, the less I understand.  I've built and install'd
aarch64-binutils on my poud box, then created an "-x -a arm64.aarch64 -m svn"
jail - which worked fine - but that jail won't build anything.  No
/usr/bin/ld, so toolchain is borked, so can't build ports-mgmt/pkg.
What utterly obvious thing have I missed?  I've spent hours trying to
fake out the nxb-bin stuff, or to find some other point of entry, no
joy.
