This is probably due to my screwup in /usr/share/mk/bsd.lib.mk.  Check
the revision number of that file, in the "$Id..." string on line 2.  If
the revision number is 1.28, then you have the bad version.  This patch
will get you to 1.29 (which is simply a reversion back to 1.27):

After you've made the patch, you need to rebuild and install all of
your shared libraries.
