These warnings come only if you build with a /usr/share/mk which is not up-to-date and an up-to-date make. (It may also be that you slipped with your sources into the small window between the two commits). As far as I can see this can legally happen only when building 5.4 or earlier on a current box (I have committed the fix to /usr/share/mk in RELENG_5, but cannot do this because this doesn't seem to fall under the committable categories for RELENG_5_*). harti
