You seem to have deleted your src/gnu/usr.bin/cc/cc1plus/Makefile.
Here's what happens here.  The make(1) (the one that's run during
a buildworld) is passed the "-m src/share/mk" argument.  Since it
cannot find a makefile in .CURDIR (src/gnu/usr.bin/cc/cc1plus) it
ends up using the src/share/mk/Makefile.  Here's the demo:

$ cd /var/empty && make -n
make: no target to make.
$ cd /var/empty && make -n -m /usr/src/share/mk
make: don't know how to make bsd.README. Stop

This feature is (vaguely) documented in the make(1) manpage:

: -I directory
:   Specify a directory in which to search for makefiles and included
:   makefiles.  The system makefile directory (or directories, see
:   the -m option) is automatically included as part of this list.
