freebsd stable - Nov 2016 - http://pkg.freebsd.org only has freebsd:11:aarch64:64 for aaarch64? How to boostrap aarch64 pkg for head (12-CURRENT)?

It looks like http://pkg.freebsd.org is still back as of head being 11-CURRENT:
http://pkg.freebsd.org shows only

	? freebsd:11:aarch64:64

(as http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd%3A11%3Aaarch64%3A64 ).

So on 12-CURRENT pkg bootstrapping gets:
> # pkg
> The package management tool is not yet installed on your system.
> Do you want to fetch and install it now? [y/N]: y
> Bootstrapping pkg from
pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:12:aarch64/latest, please wait...
> pkg: Error fetching

but ld is also missing at this stage so one cannot link anything --and pkg is
not a route to make an ld available.

So how does one currently bootstrap a 12-CURRENT pkg for aarch64 (context:
pine64+ 2GB)?

Create a /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf to reference FreeBSD:11:aarch64 ?
That just reports the wrong architecture is being attempted:

pkg-static install -f pkg fetches meta.txz and packagesite.txz first but then
also reports "wrong architecture":

Correct.  I wrote up some details on how to use the 11 packages here:
