A FAQ question on current@ these days.  The ``distribute'' is
the special case of ``install''.  Before installing stuff, you
should build it first.  There was a bug in etc/sendmail/Makefile
that was attempting to build stuff during the build, that was
fixed.  You need to catch up to this (right) change and fix
your commands like this:

cd /usr/src/etc
make obj
make all
make distribute ...
