generic won't make depend

[Jim McIver]

I did a minimal install of a Freebsd 4.9(small hard drive) on a 486 and 
wanted to customize my kernal,  so  I cvsup'ed only the src-sys 
directory. 

After several attempts at a new kernel with no success, I thought I'd 
try to just run 'make depend' on the GENERIC after doing the 'config 
GENERIC' and it won't even complete the make depend.

What am I missing?
