This is one of the races I was talking about.

In some of my tests, I found two things:

 1.) Running 'make make buildworld -j8[...]'* in general would work,
   because make(1) would be built first.  That seems to be part of the
   problem here, the toolchain has not yet decided what make(1) to build
   (bmake for fmake), which causes the upgrade_checks phase to fail.
   * Note the 'make make' is not a typo.

 2.) Running the build without '-j' set at all, in most cases, would
   succeed.  (Note: even '-j1' would fall over occasionally.)
