As far as I understand; the responsible file would be:

   ${OBJTOP}/host-osreldate.h

But that doesn't matter because the "osversion" tag within the ELF files is
always lagging behind.

Example: you're running osversion=1101508 and building a new world/kernel with
osversion=1101509. All of your ELF files are tagged with what is in

    /usr/include/osreldate.h

at the moment when you build world. So, after finishing building and installing
world you have all ELF files tagged with 1101508 although you're running
1101509. Furthermore, "host-osreldate.h" is never updated (here on my machine
using NO_CLEAN), even if I build the same world with the up-to-date installed
world; it just says "`host-osreldate.h' is up to date." which is not true.

Perhaps it would be better for "libpkg" to rely on what "sysctl" or
"getosreldate()" are saying.

But that's just my simple-minded user's point of view...
