    A FAQ question on current@ these days. The ``distribute'' is
    the special case of ``install''. Before installing stuff, you
    should build it first. There was a bug in etc/sendmail/Makefile
    that was attempting to build stuff during the build, that was
    fixed. You need to catch up to this (right) change and fix
    your commands like this:

    cd /usr/src/etc
    make obj
    make all
    make distribute ...

    Cheers,
