It doesn't.  It requires either single-user mode execution *or* a
kernel running with INSECURE defined, which is what I (need to)
do on my snapshot-building hosts.

It is however my humble opinion that the suggestion which the
binstall script spews out in this context is unreasonable, since
it precludes doing "make snapshot" while logged in over the
network (which is what I always do).
