I have compiled myself a RELENG_7 stable version of 7 branch.

make buildworld, everything goes as it should.
reboot, mergemaster command shows on file motd
--7.1_PRERELEASE
++7??:??:??
rest of motd is the same
now, based on the above showed result, I pressed d to keep original
version, because I don't want to have a system message shows 7:??:??:??
Now my question is, how do I just compile the motd in source tree, and
reinstall just that? Maybe recompile it may make it shows proper version
string.
Or if there's a method beside make buildworld again, it takes ages on my
laptop.
Simply put: you don't have to do anything.
FreeBSD's rc.d system updates the first line of the motd automatically;
see /etc/rc.d/motd.
I highly recommend placing the following into /etc/mergemaster.rc:
# Do not compare template motd to /etc/motd
IGNORE_MOTD=yes
This will cause mergemaster to skip comparing motd, but WILL NOT affect
the use of /etc/rc.d/motd.
Hope this helps.
