Hi!
If your "world" fails trying to build something
during the "installworld" phase, go on reading.

If this "69" is 2069, that is definitely the problem!
Just try this:
$ touch -t 200201010000 source
$ cat Makefile
target: source
cat ${.ALLSRC} > ${.TARGET}
$ make
$ make
$ make
$ make
$ make
To avoid this, make sure that:
1) The date on your computer is set correctly.
2) "find /usr/src -mtime -0" produces nothing.
I wonder if make(1) should be fixed to warn if some
sources have the modification date pointing in the
future.
Cheers,
