I was hoping it be as simple as a missing '*', but I would think there 
would be error messages  showing up about that. Oh, well.

Ok, you're stuck in the same place as before, and by that I mean you are 
failing the 'make buildworld' part of the sequence, correct?. That 
means that there's something you're either doing or not doing, prior to 
starting the buildworld that's causing a problem.

What's in your /etc/make.conf?

Try doing 'make buildworld' with the GENERIC conf file rather than your 
NINJA one. The problem may be there. If you can get through the upgrade 
using the GENERIC you've got the upgrade in place and you can find out 
what's wrong with NINJA. That's the best I can suggest for now. And do 
the 'make cleandir' twice, as Gerard suggested. It's not irrelevant.
