You are obviously tracking -current, right? Well, config(8) gets
changed periodically. We warn about this on current-users. That means
that every once in a while, you have to recompile config.

Though, I will point out, if you have not been tracking -current
userland with periodic "make build"s every once in a while, all sorts
of things (make, .mk files, sh, yacc, gcc, etc., etc.) will likely be
out of date. The price for tracking -current is that you have to be
vigilant.
