Does it work correctly if you invoke cvsup directly, rather than by
means of `make update'?  

 # cvsup /path/to/system/supfile

This will update the source without actually depending on it, as is
the case with `make update' - in this case, a syntax error in
Makefile.inc1 causes make to chunder.  The direct invocation will not look
at Makefile.inc1, so cvsup can update it to the latest version.  It will
then be quite happy when you `make clean'.
