BUILDING has this to say:
Note: This document applies only to platforms which use the new toolchain
as indicated by the default setting of TOOLCHAIN_MISSING in <bsd.own.mk>.
Platforms which have not yet been switched to the new toolchain should
continue building traditionally, using the notes specified in the file
UPDATING.
In a nutshell, you use build.sh _or_ UPDATING (with build.sh the much
more preferred method). Maybe some wording should be cleared up to make
this more explicit.
