touch(1) should not be run during the installworld, fullstop.
If make(1) attempts to execute it then either of the following
is true:

- buildworld was incomplete or sources were updated after
  buildworld has been run for the last time,

- your computer's clock is set incorrectly,

- some source files have modification time pointing to
  the future (check with ``find /usr/src -mtime -0'').

The last two items can confuse make(1) to think it should
rebuild something when it's not supposed to do it (i.e.,
during the installworld).
