I expect that I should not have included the above
reference to lib32 for this issue.

A note for Bryan D. (warning: too many "-"?):

Modern bsdinstall has:

     pkgbase [---jail]
              Fetch and install base system packages to BSDINSTALL_CHROOT.
              Packages are fetched according to repository configuration in
              BSDINSTALL_PKG_REPOS_DIR if set, or pkg.freebsd.org otherwise.
              If the ---jail option is passed, no kernel is installed, and the
              “jail” variant of each package

May be poudriere(-devel) could use that to advantage?

Lexi, Bapt, and Bryan:

My environments are showing the triple "-"
in the "man bsdinstall" output instead of
showing --jail for some reason.

The /usr/src/usr.sbin/bsdinstall/scripts/jail
script has just "--", such as in:

QUOTE
if [ "$PKGBASE" == yes ]; then
        bsdinstall pkgbase --jail || error "Installation of base system packages failed"
else
        distbase
fi
END QUOTE
