If it does, then make(1) thinks something is out-of-date. This means that either buildworld did not make it (but it apparently did), or make(1) is somehow confused thinking that curs_addstr.3 is out-of-date. The latter is usually due to a system time being set incorrectly (either when building or installing), or source files having modification time set to the future, causing them to always be considered "new" by make(1). You could check it by comparing the modtimes of
/usr/src/contrib/ncurses/man/curs_addstr.3x
and
${.OBJDIR}/curs_addstr.3
but since the latter is just a symlink to the former, I have no
idea what's going on here. It may be a bug in the kernel.
