make installworld touch error

[Jim McIver]

Am trying to upgrade a Freebsd 4.6 to 4.9 and when I get to the  'make 
installworld' I get touch error with a error code 127.

I've seen all the stuff about 'check the date' and I have. My date is set 
to the current date (today) and I still get the error.

I see several posting from a google search, but no answer that works.

Has someone got the solution?

thx,
