Agreed. That worked for me. I've been checking the relevant documentation on the subject (make world tutorial, FreeBSD handbook, 'The Complete FreeBSD' 2nd and 3rd edition) and I could not find any explicit statement of the importance of a correctly set kernel/CMOS time. Maybe something for the tutorials/handbook/Complete FreeBSD ? *If your kernel/CMOS time is not set correctly, your 'make world' and 'make install' of various ports may fail in unexpected ways* For fun/learning, I'll start playing around with system time and make buildworlds, and post the results here.
