Install is killed by the fact that there's no gencat ;))  From your
original report,
-----
8-current a few hours old, i386

===> usr.bin/ee (install)
install -s -o root -g wheel -m 555   ee /usr/bin
cat /usr/src/usr.bin/ee/../../contrib/ee/ee.msg > en_US.US-ASCII.msg
gencat en_US.US-ASCII.cat en_US.US-ASCII.msg
gencat:No such file or directory
*** Error code 1

I see that even on this machine ee's build wasn't successful: 'install'
phase should be making .msg files -- they are to be built at the 'build'
phase.

Next, when you succeeded to build ee:

recovered data

ran just make install

work0.psg.com:/usr/src/usr.bin/ee# make install
install -s -o root -g wheel -m 555   ee /usr/bin
cat /usr/src/usr.bin/ee/../../contrib/ee/ee.msg > en_US.US-ASCII.msg
gencat en_US.US-ASCII.cat en_US.US-ASCII.msg

Do you really just run 'make install' after 'make clean' and failed
'make'?  Or you took some additional steps?

In any case, bare 'make install' just used bsd.*.mk files from /usr/share/mk.
Now you need to repeat 'make buildworld'/'make installworld'.  If you're
up to it, please, do (on the system where build by-hand was successful)
-----
make buildworld 2>&1 | tee build.log
make installworld 2>&1 | tee install.log
-----
and show the contents build.log and install.log.

If you hadn't touched your other machine on which ee install was failing
too, please, do the following:
-----
cat /usr/src/usr.bin/ee/Makefile
ls -la /usr/src/usr.bin/ee
ls -la /usr/obj/usr/src/usr.bin/ee
ls -la /usr/src/contrib/ee
ls -la /usr/src/usr/share/mk
grep -r '$FreeBSD' /usr/src/share/mk
-----
and show the results.

Thanks!
