The top level makefile (I think) always uses the included .mk files from
/usr/share/mk which are not necessarily what is required to build the
source on a non-up-to-date system. I'd say that the "official best
world practice" should be to execute the make world or buildworld with
the -m /usr/src/share/mk and only those who build -current regularly
should expect to just make world.
