Subject: i386 -> amd64 build: bad kernel generated?

I'm trying to upgrade an amd64 host from 3.0 to NetBSD-current as of
yesterday. A build.sh -j4 -m amd64 tools release from a clean tree
on my i386 build host (running current as of about a week ago) yields
a netbsd-GENERIC.MP.gz which:
1) The 3.0 bootblocks won't load
2) objdump -p (on the 3.0 amd64 host) doesn't recognize:
objdump: /netbsd: File format not recognized
3) file(1) thinks is fine:
/netbsd: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped
config -x, at least, will extract the kernel configuration from this file,
so it's not total garbage.
Can anyone actually generate a valid kernel from an i386->amd64 cross build
of up to date -current right now?
