But look at this error message Steve Kargl posted: ===> games/fortune/strfile (obj,depend,all,install) cc -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/legacy/usr/include -c /usr/src/games/fortune/strfile/strfile.c In file included from /usr/src/games/fortune/strfile/strfile.c:53: /usr/include/stdio.h:331: error: syntax error before "__format_arg" Is /usr/games/fortune is a build tool? Even if /usr/includes is not consistent due to make includes, surely fortune shouldn't care since it includes only the "internal" headers? Internal meaning the ones in the target system. BTW, I have seen similar things in the past few weeks while doing buildworld and the only way to fix this was to do make includes. Anyway, if it is only build tools that rely on host includes, why do you need make includes at all? If you do, that says that the build tools are relying on new stuff that they are supposed to help build and install. More generally don't the build tools need to have an even more stable environment?
