This one's easy, even though I've never built a FreeBSD kernel or
gotten in installed, for that matter (I wish there were more hours in
the day).  :-)

Your problem is that cp failed, probably because which was unable to
find one of the binaries in the list above.

Open up your favorite editor and make a file called bleh.sh with the
following in it:

for i in [ awk cat chflags chmod chown date echo egrep find grep install ln make makewhatis mtree mv perl rm sed sh sysctl test true uname wc zip;
do
  which $i
done

then, at a shell: sh bleh.sh

It *should* print out a bunch of filepaths, but you'll probably have one
or more that aren't found, and which should bitch about it.  Find the
missing proggie and install it and build it again.
