This is a known problem, and unfortunately my solution to it broke cross-compilation.

I think you're supposed to reboot with a new kernel (built with 'make buildkernel && make installkernel') and then installworld. This is the new 'one true way'. It's not supposed to work over more than one major version, so I doubt 3.4 -> 5.0 will work for much longer. > Good work on the make/install process. Cool. Marcel and others deserve a massive round of applause.
