What was the specific make command that you tried to do?
(there is no 'make build' target for /usr/src)

UPDATING should already say that you need to do a 'buildworld'
before trying to do a 'buildkernel'.  If you do that, then
the make command should be rebuilt correctly.  No special
steps needed, but you do need to follow the standard
recommended order for an upgrade.  That order is especially
important for an upgrade from 5.1-security to 5.2-anything.
