This is not entirely correct.

Before I committed the changes to tools/compat to check for fparseln,
I tested the changes on a NetBSD 1.6_STABLE system, a -current system
without the migration, and a -current system with the migration,
and tool build worked fine each time.

Note; in each case I was building "clean" (I.e, I disabled UPDATE=1),
UNPRIVED, read-only source, to a DESTDIR != /.

Is that necessary?
(I suppose it might be for DESTDIR=/ builds...)
