            Bug ID: 288351
           Summary: release/Makefile should not use the host
                    /usr/bin/install command, but the freshly built one
           Product: Base System
           Version: 15.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: wosch@FreeBSD.org

Discovered while trying to cross-build `make ftp` on macOS, it seems that we
should not use the host's install(1) to make ftp tarballs, but use the freshly
built one.

install(1) on macOS is much older than the FreeBSD version and missing some
options. It does not work at all. On FreeBSD the host /usr/bin/install will
usually work - except after a new required option was added.

This patch solves the problem on macOS
