You don't compile things in /usr/src/contrib in FreeBSD, that's just
where parts of the vendor code live. Top is rebuilt from usr.bin/top.
Make sure your userland is in sync with your kernel; if you update
your kernel sources and rebuild your kernel, you must rebuild world as
well, otherwise some things (like top) are likely to stop working.
