I've seen the same problem when building 'world' and the kernel at the 
same time.  I'm not sure if this is the 'correct' way to do it, but the 
logical (and in both of my cases) sequence is:
make buildworld - compiles only
make installworld- installs the new system binaries

reboot
make buildkernel - now building against the 'new' user space libraries, 
utils, etc
make installkernel

reboot and you should be OK.

What appears make have happened is you missed the 'make installworld' 
step, so userspace libraries and tools were not up to date.  I'd try:
cd/ /usr/src
make installworld
make installkernel

reboot and post if any change, but I suspect that will fix it..

HTH,

Scott
