Hmm, this is probably the classic problem of the machine symlink being a
newer date than the build causing installworld to try and rebuild the binary
when it shouldn't. I've seen this on boot2 when storing the output of a
buildworld in a cpio and extracting it since cpio doesn't preserve the times
on symlinks. We actually just comment out the dependency on the 'machine'
symlinks at work since we use cpio. :-/
Indeed -- it turned out that time in my Parallels VM had mysteriously
regressed four days (or failed to leap forward four days?). ntpdate, blowing
away /usr/obj and touching /usr/src followed by a rebuild did the trick.
Sorry about the false alarm.
