No, it has never been populated.

The md(4) driver is loaded if not present in the kernel
just before switching to a chroot, by "make release":
: # Ensure md.ko is loaded if md(4) is not statically compiled into
: # the kernel
: -mdconfig 2>/dev/null
: env -i /usr/sbin/chroot `dirname ${_MK}` /`basename ${_MK}`

It's possible that your host system is running an older version
of FreeBSD kernel with version 1 of "struct kld_file_stat",
while the release(7) procedure requires that "/usr/obj be
populated with the output of a native ``make buildworld''
compiled from sources matching the currently running kernel."

Please fix that and try again. Following this requirement
solved a similar problem for a colleague here.
