No, instead, it needs to use cross-tools or build-tools or some such.  If
release uses more things than are available then we may need to have a
release-tools concept.  Either that or maybe we should actually still build a
full world in the chroot, then for cross builds build another world, but this
time a cross-built one.  This would probably result in fewer diffs.  The
distribute stuff already uses what is in /usr/obj, so it would just simply
involve adding an extra buildworld after the world.  I would actually prefer
that as it still preserves the "clean room" atmosphere that a release is
supposed to have.
