I've seen errors like this before when a system is low on memory and
starts killing processes, if the compiler was killed, then the asm that
it's generating and piping to gas (assembler) will be truncated and give
a syntax error.  Normally just restarting the make without cleaning
first will allow it to continue on.  Does youre system have little ram
or is usually quite full, for example running kde on a system with 128
megs of ram could be enough to cause the kernel to start killing
processes when trying to make buildworld.

P.S.  Is there an easy way to start a buildworld or buildkernel again
without having it auto-clean first for cases like this, or when just
making a minor chance to a source file?
