Hi Gavin:

Thanks for your reply.  I am using AHCI on a single disk.  I believe what 
happened was that I had some disk corruption recently, fixed by a full 
fsck in single user mode.  After fixing that and rebooting I started to 
see this problem.  I was able to fix it by deleting /usr/src and doing a 
fresh svn co.  Now buildworld compiles successfully.  So, it was a local 
problem on this machine and not anything with the source code as I did not 
see anyone else report this problem.

Thanks again for your help, sorry for the noise.

Andy
