 Usually it works.  But sometimes when you update sources it fails and
 you need to build world (kernel toolchains actually) before
 buildkernel.
 
 From src/UPDATING:
 
         To build a kernel
         -----------------
         If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just
         a few days old), you should follow this procedure.  It is the most
         failsafe as it uses a /usr/obj tree with a fresh mini-buildworld,
 
         make kernel-toolchain
         make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
         make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
 
 Please learn src/UPDATING, especially "COMMON ITEMS" section at the
 end of the file.
 
 I'll close your PR if you don't object.
