This happens because you install target fails and there are a lot of old 
binaries installed on your system.

The only thing I can find, is that the install of the test man page fails. I 
can't tell you why this happens. Maybe there is a problem with removing your 
old test.1.gz (ie. disk access error). 
First I would try to manually remove the test man-page by the command  
"/bin/rm  /usr/share/man/man1/test.1.gz" and run the install target again.

If the install target still fails with test.1.gz, have a closer look 
on /usr/obj/usr/src/bin/test/test.1.gz. I attached 5.3 version of it as of 
Nov, 26th.

# cd /usr/obj/usr/src/bin/test
# ls -l
total 24
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  1800 Nov 26 16:14 .depend
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  9839 Nov 26 16:21 test
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  2654 Nov 26 16:21 test.1.gz
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  6708 Nov 26 16:21 test.o
