Honest answer, thanks. Guess I'll have to see what I can do about it. 
Have poked around a bit thinking, "its gotta work somehow, what am I 
doing wrong?" Having confirmed it doesn't work for others, I'll start 
digging deeper.

Is there a document describing what /usr/src/release/Makefile is doing?
If not, then that would be a good subject for a magazine article.

Is there a way to resume a "make release" from the last error? Attempts 
to resume using "make release.6" doesn't. Appears it needs to chroot 
itself or something, maybe only change the object dir?
