You mean the correct advice that you ignored?

You ran this:

    make -j 24 release.conf=custom.conf release

First of all, as Colin told you, you need to define WITH_VMIMAGES either
in your environment, in make.conf, or on the make command line.  Adding
it to your release configuration file has no effect.

Second, `release.conf=custom.conf` has no effect either.  You just made
that up.  The correct variable name is RELEASECONF.

Third, you could easily have learned this by reading the Makefile and
release.sh, they're not particularly complex.
