    Not only do you need make, but also gcc and other utilities. I would
    consider /usr wiped, even if you still have "su". You might find relief
    in /rescue or /stand/sysinstall.

    You won't reinstall the whole system creating slices and labes and all
    that, but you will most likely need to reinstall a lot though.

    Cheers, Erik
