is 'sunlabel' required to cross-build 'make release' for sparc64?

This is (usually) done in src/Makefile.inc1, around the
cross-tools target; something along these lines should
work:

.if ${TARGET_ARCH} != ${MACHINE_ARCH} && ${TARGET_ARCH} == "sparc64" && defined(RELEASEDIR)
_sunlabel=	sbin/sunlabel
.endif

Then add ${_sunlabel} to the list of tools built during
cross-tools.

P.S.  We have a similar case for i386/kgzip.
