Kernel Compile Errors

Environment:
FreeBSD 4.8
Situation:
I setup this server last week and recompiled the kernel to remove
unecassary hardware and feature support. That worked without a hitch.
I installed a few other apps (Pine, Vim 6, Squid, and Dans Guardian
(Dans was compiled from their source--not from a port).
Today I tried recompiling the kernel yet again to add the following options:
options IPFIREWALL
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
options DIVERT
I used the following command to make the kernel:
make buildkernel KERNCONF=CUSTOM
Everytime I try this it fails. The only difference between CUSTOM and
GENERIC are the options and devices I removed and the firewall options
I added. However, if I try to build GENERIC it also fails now.
The errors in the syslog are:
(cc), uid 0: exited on signal # (core dumped)
(as), uid 0: exited on signal # (core dumped)
The # is either 1, 4, 10, or 11.
Thinking that something got mucked up in the source I deleted the
/usr/src/sys directory and reinstalled it--this also didn't work.
I'm pretty new to kernel tweaking. Does anyone know how I might resolve
this problem? The research I've done leads me towards kernel
debugging--a feature I can't enable as the kernel won't build.
