As far as I know, you cannot do this through build.sh unless such
"optional" component provides an MK* variable.  If the src/sbin/Makefile
provided a, say, MKRESIZEFFS variable to control whether resize_ffs gets
built or not, you'd then pass "-V MKRESIZEFFS=yes" to build.sh to enable it.

Note that this requires some weird hacks in the file sets lists
generation to work properly; just making the build conditional is not
enough.
