If you're running FreeBSD-current, you *must* read the freebsd-current
mailing list.

This is because the ld in -current has been upgraded and you need to
re-compile ld before you can do a 'make world'.  This has been explained
several times on the current mailing list.

I haven't seen this, but there's probably some other bootstrapping you
need to do.  -current has diverged quite considerably from 2.1.0/5
and it's not just a case of typing 'make world' and waiting for 
everything to effortlessly upgrade itself.

I would recommend going to the searchable mail list archives under
http://www.freebsd.org/ and having a browse through some of the recent 
posts on freebsd-current.
