Hi there! As seen by the latest series of tinderbox failures, the rescue/ stuff breaks cross compiles. The problem is that some bits like bin/sh have the so-called "build tools". These are small utilities not normally visible in the world except during the build stage. As such, "make buildworld" builds them in the native host's environment (using the host compiler, headers, libraries, and binutils). The /rescue should have such a target too (build-tools), that would in effect call the build-tools targets in all makefiles that have it, e.g. bin/sh/Makefile.
