You didn't get it.  It's possible to have a RELENG_4 box (with
RELENG_4 /usr/src and /usr/obj matching the running version),
and build a release snapshot of HEAD.  The CHROOTDIR will still
be populated by RELENG_4 world.  Inside the chroot area, we do
a sort of source upgrade from RELENG_4 to HEAD; the only tricky
part is creating file system images, and requires proper support
in related utilities, so cross-platform 5.x snapshot building is
not supported on 4.x, but it's still supported for native builds
on i386 and I believe Alpha.  (See also release/scripts/doFS.sh.)

This never worked -- the 4.x kernel will be upset by 5.x binaries.
