    Of course, to reproduce the world needs to be rebuilt and reinstalled, so the right commands to reproduce are:
    make builworld && make installworld
    I hope I didn't mislead anyone.
    Cheers

    It's a bit odd, but it seems like only the systems where /usr/src/ and /usr/obj are mounted over NFS are affected.

    This is as intended. Not a bug.
    bootcodes and loaders are NOT built on buildkernel, but buildworld.
    And also, NOT installed on installkernel, but installworld.
    So try buildworld and installworld. It should work.
    If you don't want buildworld and installworld, you can
    cd /usr/src/stand
    make && make install
    to update loaders.
    Once you can confirm it, this PR can be closed.
    A bit offtopic, but in ancient days, bootcodes and loaders were placed under /usr/src/sys/boot, but not built on buildkernel, which was insane.
    So /usr/src/sys/boot was moved to outside of /usr/src/sys, /usr/src/stand at Nov.2017.

    Yes, you are 100% right. Please see comment #1.

    I reported this issue because two separate and independent build systems were affected in the same way, and more than a dozen other systems dependent on them (consumers) were missing the updates of these critical files. It might have been related to WITH_META_MODE=yes used or another unidentified problem. However, the issue disappeared after rebuilding once more, following an upgrade of the world to 15.0-STABLE (1500500) on both affected building machines.
    I am therefore closing this report and apologise for the noise. The breakage had been fully reproducible (100% reproducible for NFS-shared object and source directories) during the latest ALPHA stages of stable/15, which is why I initially filed the report.
    Thank you to everyone who was involved in the investigation!
