Hello:
	On a system running:

FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT #0 main-f0a15aafcb
Mon Oct 31 08:19:54 EDT 2022
amd64

	out of nowhere any attempt to use portmaster fails with:

make: "/usr/ports/Mk/Uses/objc.mk" line 57: String comparison operator must be either == or !=
make: Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
make: "/usr/share/mk/sys.mk" line 201: Unknown modifier ":Q"
make: "/usr/share/mk/sys.mk" line 215: Unknown modifier ":Q"
make: Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
eval: make:: not found
export: make:: bad variable name

	<kicked in the head by a mule expression>
	What happened?
	How do I fix it?


			Perplexedly,
