Sadly I have confirmed that "make kernel-toolchain" does infact
fix the above error.

Now the begging question, why isnt the toolchain as shipped
already properly built?

This is a stock FreeBSD-12.0=RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso install,
with stock sources from the iso.  I was simply configuring
a custom kernel, I should not need to build a took chain
to build a kernel when nothing has changed from the
RELEASE, it should already be the correct toolchain.
