I don't remember exactly how etcmerge works, but if it calls "make
distribution" from src/etc/, it's in trouble, please go on reading...

You should be running "make distribution" from under top of the src/
tree, not src/etc/. This takes care of properly setting the runtime
environment up so that a bootstrapped version of cap_mkdb(8) is used,
besides many other useful things. We bootstrap cap_mkdb(8) if (this
was copied from Makefile.inc1):
=2Eif ${BOOTSTRAPPING} < 600015
_cap_mkdb=3D usr.bin/cap_mkdb
=2Eendif
It may also be that for some reason your /usr/include/osreldate.h is
lying about the currently installed version.
To make the long story short...
You can check all of this easily; assuming your sources are in the
kosher location /usr/src, the bootstrapped version of cap_mkdb(8)
capable of running on your host should be sitting ready in:
/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/legacy/usr/bin/cap_mkdb
(Extrapolate this appropriately to your environment.)
Cheers,
