Hmm... Cryptic make failures like that are puzzling. The best advice I 
can give is to clean out cruft from earlier builds by doing:

cd /usr/src && make cleanworld

then trying again. If that doesn't work, try cvsupping again to pull 
some fresh sources. If that doesn't work /either/, I'm all out of ideas, 
sorry. :-( Maybe someone more intimate with the build procedure can shed 
some light?
