Yes, I've seen these.  I did:

# cd /build/usr/src/share/mk; make DESTDIR=/build install; make install
[ installs in both /build/usr/share/mk and /usr/share/mk because when
  running make with alternate DESTDIR it doesn't know to look in $DESTDIR
  for the mk stuff ]

# cd /build/usr/src [where -current lives]
# make DESTDIR=/build beforeinstall
# make DESTDIR=/build build

It does a make clean, gets as far as

===> sys/arch/sparc/stand
cleaning the stand-alone library objects
Unknown modifier 'Q'

Unknown modifier 'Q'

Unknown modifier 'Q'

Unknown modifier 'Q'

rm -f [long list of files mercifully deleted]
cleaning the kern library objects
Unknown modifier 'Q'

Unknown modifier 'Q'

Unknown modifier 'Q'
[repeats...]

It goes down into creating the syscalls and then...

Unknown modifier 'Q'

-DNLS -DYP -DLIBC_SCCS -DSYSLIBC_SCCS -D_REENTRANT -I/build/usr/src/lib/libc/inc
lude -D__DBINTERFACE_PRIVATE -DPOSIX_MISTAKE -DFLOATING_POINT -I/build/usr/src/l
ib/libc/arch/sparc -nostdinc -idirafter /build/usr/include rem.S
Unknown modifier 'Q'

....

Shouldn't there be a 'cc' prefacing this?

Would re-installing "make" help here?

I'll try that.  Duh.
