Same thing here with arm.

buildmachine amd64
targetmachine armv7

Intstead of fiddling around with nfs rootmount and rsync
one should tell the makemagic to not use the crossinstalltools (amd64)
but the tools included in the fresh builded world (armv7).

Either automatic or bei a cmdline switch.

Then we could just mount /usr/src, /usr/doc/ /usr/obj
and do a normal installkernel/world.
