Well I'm back 'cause it did not fix the problem.
I'm again able to buildworld/kernel but installing them still gives the same 
problem.

Running the grep gives:
[/home1/usr/src] root at opteron> grep "^[a-zA-Z]" /home1/usr/src/etc/nls.alias
POSIX                   C
en_US.US-ASCII          C

Which seems oke to me...
shift is buildin, even in /bin/sh

So whereelse do I look.
