Tonight I finally got around to tracking -stable, and ran into a problem
that isn't obvious to me while making world.  I have two machines that are
similarly configured, and they both failed in exactly the same spot.

Following is an excerpt from the make output:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
===> usr.sbin/tcpdump/tcpdump
rm -f version.c ;  sed 's/.*/char version[] = "&";/'
/usr/src/usr.sbin/tcpdump/tcpdump/../../../contrib/tcpdump/VERSION >
version.c
make: don't know how to make print-fr.c. Stop
*** Error code 2

Stop.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I poked around in /usr/src/contrib/tcpdump and found that print-fr.c
doesn't exist, though there are lots of other files there with somewhat
similar names.

The SRCS variable in /usr/src/usr.sbin/tcpdump/tcpdump/Makefile contains
print-fr.c.  I'm at a loss as to how this Makefile would have gotten out
of sync with the actual sources.  Of course, the build system still
contains some black magic in my eyes. =)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason
