I suspect I know the problem. The tool I'm building links with a bunch of other 
libraries we've developed, which I didn't write. I only modified the makefile 
of my own code. I'm going to have to tweak the makefiles of a dozen different 
library modules. That'll be more work but it needs to be done to confirm this 
approach works. I checked the binaries built on BSD7 and a real BSD8 system and 
there are clear differences:

BSD7 binary:

        libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x800724000)
        libreadline.so.7 => /usr/local/lib/compat/libreadline.so.7 (0x800843000)
        libncurses.so.7 => /usr/local/lib/compat/libncurses.so.7 (0x800980000)
        libcrypto.so.5 => /usr/local/lib/compat/libcrypto.so.5 (0x800acc000)
        libdevinfo.so.4 => /usr/local/lib/compat/libdevinfo.so.4 (0x800d5e000)
        libkvm.so.4 => /usr/local/lib/compat/libkvm.so.4 (0x800e60000)
        libutil.so.7 => /usr/local/lib/compat/libutil.so.7 (0x800f68000)
        libthr.so.3 => /lib/libthr.so.3 (0x801077000)
        libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x80118f000)

BSD8 binary:

        libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x800724000)
       * libreadline.so.8 => /lib/libreadline.so.8 (0x800843000)
       * libncurses.so.8 => /lib/libncurses.so.8 (0x800981000)
       * libcrypto.so.6 => /lib/libcrypto.so.6 (0x800acd000)
       * libdevinfo.so.5 => /usr/lib/libdevinfo.so.5 (0x800d67000)
       * libkvm.so.5 => /lib/libkvm.so.5 (0x800e69000)
       * libutil.so.8 => /lib/libutil.so.8 (0x800f71000)
        libthr.so.3 => /lib/libthr.so.3 (0x801081000)
        libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x801199000)

I suspect the libkvm library is the culprit. This list though is what I need to 
aim for using the sysroot approach.
