The minimal-action solution to this bug is to run 'make includes' prior to
doing the "Installing everything" section of reinstall: in Makefile.inc1 -
but there may be a better way. Can anyone think of one?

make includes before make installworld, or make -k installworld followed
by make installworld, fixes this particular bug (i.e. it won't be
necessary again barring future bugs).
The problem is that libdes was reabsorbed into libcrypto in 4.0, and the
des.h include file replaced by a symlink to openssl/des.h. The problem is
that in certain cases perl is run over the headers after the symlink has
been created, but before the target file has been installed, so perl
follows the symlink into the void and dies.
This is (not surprisingly) a bug in the make world process since some of
the .ph headers will be out of sync with the .h headers. Now that you've
reminded me I'll try and get it fixed so it doesn't affect others in the
future.
