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".
