trouble building FreeBSD 8.1 amd64 kernel with pfsync support

I'm trying to build a kernel for a pair of firewalls which will be using
CARP and pfsync for redundancy. Since I'm new to FreeBSD the config is
based on the GENERIC config, thus:

  include GENERIC
  ident NEW_FIREWALL
  device carp
  ##device pfsync

and issuing the build like this:

  # cd /usr/src
  # time make buildkernel KERNCONF=NEW_FIREWALL && echo YES

With the config above (CARP but no pfsync) it builds just fine
and boots and runs happily; I've got CARP configured.

If I uncomment the "devic pfsync" the build aborts at link time ending thus:

  MAKE=make sh /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh NEW_FIREWALL cc -c -O2 -frename-registers -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing  -std=c99 -g -Wall -Wredundant-decls -Wnested-externs -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wcast-qual  -Wundef -Wno-pointer-sign -fformat-extensions -nostdinc  -I. -I/usr/src/sys -I/usr/src/sys/contrib/altq -D_KERNEL -DHAVE_KERNEL_OPTION_HEADERS -include opt_global.h -fno-common -finline-limit=8000 --param inline-unit-growth=100 --param large-function-growth=1000 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -mcmodel=kernel -mno-red-zone  -mfpmath=387 -mno-sse -mno-sse2 -mno-sse3 -mno-mmx -mno-3dnow  -msoft-float -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -ffreestanding -fstack-protector -Werror  vers.c

Am I doing something obviously wrong here?

Question of no importance. The Great Guru replied in words which the Junior
Programmer did not understand. The Junior Programmer sought to rephrase the
Question, saying, "Stop me if I appear stupid." The great Guru, without
speaking, reached over and pressed L1-A.
