11.0: amd64 -> powerpc64/armv6 -r302331 -> -r302412 re-cross-builds (updates): got "sh: ./make_keys: Exec format error" again for init_ketry.h in ncursesw

Sat Jul 9 21:13:37 UTC 2016

[Sending to freebsd-ppc this time, now that I've tried such a cross build.]
[Before the below cross build/update attempt I updated my amd64 from -r302331 -> -r302412.]

Summary: It appears that WITHOUT_META_MODE= still needs to be forced for cross compiles at least sometimes in order to avoid "Exec format error". man src.conf only mentions WITHOUT_META_MODE= in one place:

>    WITH_DIRDEPS_BUILD
. . .
>            WITH_META_MODE (unless WITHOUT_META_MODE is set explicitly)
. . .
>            This must be set in the environment, make command line, or
>            /etc/src-env.conf, not /etc/src.conf.

Any cross build to an incompatible TARGET_ARCH likely has this sort of issue at certain specific places in the WITH_META_MODE build if they are rebuilt instead of skipped.

In attempting to update my cross build (amd64 -> armv6 or powerpc64) from -r302331 to -r302412 it failed with the likes of (powerpc64 example using powerpc64-gcc to build based a libc++ based 11.0):
