Hmm, works fine here on -current and in a 4.0 chroot on -current:

$ mount | grep /usr/src
/a/src/nbsd/4 on /usr/src type null (read-only, nosuid, nodev, local)
$ cd /usr/src
$ ./build.sh -U -O ~/temp/obj -t ~/temp/obj/tools tools
===> build.sh command: ./build.sh -U -O /home/build/temp/obj -T /home/build/temp/obj/tools tools
===> build.sh started: Sat Nov 10 13:09:17 UTC 2007
===> NetBSD version:   4.0_RC4
===> MACHINE:          i386
===> MACHINE_ARCH:     i386
===> Build platform:   NetBSD 4.0_RC4 i386
===> HOST_SH:          /bin/sh
===> No /home/build/temp/obj/tools/bin/nbmake, needs building.
