By the time we get to building the kernel, we have already built world successfully, and a complete up-to-date toolchain is available (but not yet installed in the default location on the host). The failure case I reported to you occurs at this point; missing db.h will allow the world to build, but kernel builds to fail. In other words there's no need for kernel build tools to fail, because everything they require is available from the output of 'make buildworld'. Whether or not it is difficult to use these in the current FreeBSD build implementation is another matter, but your general "of course not" is missing my specific point.
