The ABI for ARM changed for NetBSD 7.0, the 'hpcarm' package directory
is a symlink to packages built for the old ABI that were valid for all
ARM architectures. I'm looking into getting the correct directories
set up to hold new ABI packages.

I have setup a native build environment for pkgsrc-2017Q2 under 7.1
on a faster ARM machine.

If people have a list of packages that they want then I could build them
first.
