compile error, 7.2R

[DA Forsyth]

Hiya all

I am trying to compile 7.2 on a box currently running 7.1 which was 
compiled from 7.0 (in fact way back to 5.2.1)

make buildworld
and
make kernel-toolchain

both produce this error

mkdep -f .depend -a    -I/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/legacy/usr/include

Stop in /usr/src/usr.sbin/config.

I did do a cvsup this morning which did not update anything.  I have 
configured a new kernel, but not built it yet as I always build world 
first according to the instructions in /usr/src/UPDATING.

That folder contains
lergy-/usr/src/usr.sbin/config > ls -l
total 102

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   8472 Apr 15 05:14 mkoptions.c

and config.h does exist, so the error message makes no sense at all.

Any solutions?
