I tried sending the following via send-pr, and the email gets rejected.
So I tried sending this to FreeBSD-gnats-submit at freebsd.org. However,
after 4 days it is not showing up in the bug database...

> Description:
Trying to build FreeBSD from another machine's SRC complains that
touch cannot be found.
> How-To-Repeat:
If you go to install it onto a machine other than the world was
compiled on it comes up with an error that touch cannot be
found. Searching google and such points for most of this problem to be
an issue with the date. However, that does not seem to the case...
If you change Makefile.inc1 to the attached patch there is no longer
the problem.
> Fix:
See attached diff. Quite simply, have installworld rebuild touch and
m4 as part of the installworld process.
