NO_CLEAN builds are NOT guaranteed to work.  They work most of the
time, but they "rely" on the source tree not being changed a lot,
in ways that obfuscate make(1).  In this particular case, it may
even have caused by using a regular (cleaning) build, because the
type of the file in question has changed from "file" to "directory"
(or vice versa, I don't recall for sure).  Your action in this
case is to follow these steps:

1) Wipe out /usr/obj/usr/src.
2) Start a build (it can be a NO_CLEAN to save time, since there
   will be nothing to clean).
