Possibly, especially since you say that you had just upgraded
with buildworld/installworld. If some port/config depended on
the update then that would break. Sort of depends on how
much you have upgraded from the CD.

You need to look under /usr/obj  (as I said  ;o)

>ls /usr/obj/usr/src/usr.bin/make/make
/usr/obj/usr/src/usr.bin/make/make
