Your freshly-created jail has pkg installed. `pkg config ABI` only
works if pkg has been bootstrapped.
Getting the ABI string with just the /usr/sbin/pkg stub available is
another thing entirely, even though that stub program necessarily has
the code to determine the ABI string. I ended up writing a small
program that replicates the ELF-divining logic in pkg and prints the
value of ABI.
IMO the stub should have the `pkg config ABI` functionality added to it,
but I'm probably alone in thinking that would be useful.
