I came to the following recipe when upgrading from a stale current to
a modern one. This workarounds problem with install(1) and failure of
clang bootstrap with old time.h in /usr/include.

cd usr.bin/xinstall
make && make install && make clean
cd -
make hierarchy
make includes

Now, make buildworld is possible.
