 This is by design.  To successfully use up-to-date tools, one would
 also need to be running an up-to-date kernel; this is especially
 true in the disk^Wbsdlabel(8) case that relies heavily on GEOM part
 of the kernel -- even if you'll be able to cross-compile bsdlabel
 and install it under ${CHROOTDIR}, the running kernel may still be
 inadequate for running it.  I think PHK is the spokesman here.

 This would be backwards; see log for release/Makefile,v 1.672 for
 more details.
 
 A proper "fix" would be to either manually upgrade the necessary
 bits (kernel and disk tools) with up-to-date copies, or just do
 a full upgrade before attempting to "make release".
