The security check watches for any changes in setuid files, since that could be indicative of a rootkit after a breakin, or a potential vulnerability in your system. However, when you do a 'make installworld', it's updating a lot of the system's setuid files, which then triggers the security check output you see. That will happen after every new 'make installworld'.
