The canonical first thing to do is to see if your system will build GENERIC.
If it does not you have done something to the OS. If GENERIC builds OK
and your custom kernel config will not, there is something broken with your
config file. Remember to cd /usr/obj and rm -rf usr or make clean first. 
Always clean out the stale leftovers prior to build.

I'm at home and only have two GENERIC conf files to look at.
RELENG_7:

Read the error message. It is failing to build uvscom because uvscom
depends on #device ucom and you have ucom commented out.
