I think what may have happened was the following.

The "legacy" rm which failed was likely a symlink to /bin/rm, like so:

$ ls -l  /usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/tmp/legacy/usr/bin/rm
lrwxr-xr-x  1 dim  dim  7 2018-12-29 16:22:12 /usr/obj/usr.old/src/amd64.amd64/tmp/legacy/usr/bin/rm@ -> /bin/rm

For some reason, /bin/rm may have been overwritten before your
/lib/libc.so.7, which caused the "Undefined symbol" error from
ld-elf.so.1.

Alternatively, installing /lib/libc.so.7 may have failed without the
Makefile noticing it, after which the first /bin/rm would show that same
error.

When you re-ran "make installworld", the installation of /lib/libc.so.7
likely succeeded, and after that the symlinked commands in
/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/tmp/legacy/usr/bin which used new symbols
started to work.
