I may be wrong (please correct me if I'm wrong), but I believe
the problem comes from wheater you have previously 'make buildworld'
and deleted (or not) /usr/obj/*

If you have the results of a previous 'make buildworld' under /usr/obj/
then the original post procedure works fine, while if you don't
it will fail. In that case, just cd .. and repeat the above steps.
