This is not an officially supported way of building releases.
That's why there is some magic to finish this procedure.
Even if it will complete successfully it won't neccessary mean it will work 
correctly. You'd better try building 4.x release on RELENG_4 box.

However if you don't have an opportunity to do so maybe I'll be able
to provide you with some help. I did built RELENG_5 release on RELENG_4 
box successfully some time ago. Contact me offline if you are still interested.
