Lots of things can make this happen, but basically the installworld
thinks it needs to build a new osreldate.h that should have been built
by buildworld.  Here are a couple causes...

 - updating newvers.sh without an intervening buildworld, then trying
   installworld

 - mismatched system times on systems using NFS

Try re-doing buildworld, then installworld again.
