>Well, you need to update your supfile.

Can we be a little more specific?  For someone that hasn't been a member of 
-current for that long, it's quite possible that he/she doesn't know that    
the sup files are sup'd along with -current.  Not knowing this, one would
tend to grab the supfiles from:

  ftp.cdrom.com:/pub/FreeBSD/sup

which isn't correct.  The updated supfiles should be in (after a fresh sup):

  /usr/src/share/examples/sup


I also rebuilt make and the mk files:

  cd /usr/src/usr.bin/make; make clean all install
  cd ../../share/mk; make install

before doing the make world.                           

I also removed tcl from /usr/src/lib/Makefile before the make world.

I have to admit that I was also using the supfiles from wcarchive on
/pub/FreeBSD/sup and running across the ssame problem.  I even searched
archives and found the response to this problem was to make sure that
my supfiles were current.  After rechecking the supfiles in /pub/FreeBSD/sup,
I thought my supfiles were current.  I finally figured it out, but I can
see how someone could easily get the wrong supfiles.
