I'm not sure if I can help you, but there's something that
looks strange to me:

I'm sure you noticed the Ctrl-M (^M) at the ends of each line.
This seems to be an MS-DOS-like line break (ASCII 0x13 + 0x10).
UNIX (and so FreeBSD) use the NL or LF character 0x10. And 0x13
is the CR character which is equivalent to Ctrl-M, if I do
remember correctly. Why is it displayed in the masked (!) form
in the output of make? Is there - eventually - a file involved
that does use this strange 2-byte-linebreak? Could this be a
reason? Is it possible that at this stage of compilation a file
named "/boot/kernel^M" is requested, but does not exist?

I'm not sure at this, I'm just guessing. Maybe it helps...
