Package building using the stage3 root has reached a point where we have enough of the needed packages to compose a stage4 root which can build packages using mock. I have added the start of stage 4 notes at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/AArch64/Stage4Notes#AArch64...
On that page are links to tarball snapshots of the stage4 root and stage3 repo containing the stage 3 RPMs and a simple comps.xml with a buildsys-build group (and a mockbuilder-root group used to compose the stage4 root). You have the choice of booting with systemd of with busybox as the init process. Busybox is noticeably faster because the systemd daemon eats up cycles on the model which are better saved for building packages.
Next steps are a hosted repo so we can do the stage 4 builds with the script used for the hard float bootstrap:
http://arm-temp.ausil.us/pub/fedora-arm/arm-rebuild.sh
and some better instructions to make it easier for those wanting to join in with package building on the way to stage 5.
More info coming soon.

I get a 404 error when trying to look at that script, and I'm lost when it comes to knowing how to help out in Stage 4. I've got the Foundation Model up and running, and am happy to donate some spare CPU cycles to the effort, but could use a little help in knowing how to help out.

A version of that script is now included in the rootfs image. See:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/AArch64/QuickStart
That page should help you get up and running builds.
