Did you replace the dependancies in i386/conf/files.i386? The section
should look like this:
aic7xxx optional ahc device-driver \
dependancy "$S/gnu/misc/aic7xxx/aic7xxx.c" \
compile-with "${CC} -o $@ $>" \
no-obj no-implicit-rule
aic7xxx_seq.h optional ahc device-driver \
dependancy "$S/gnu/misc/aic7xxx/aic7xxx.seq aic7xxx" \
compile-with "./aic7xxx -o $@ $S/gnu/misc/aic7xxx/aic7xxx.seq" \
no-obj no-implicit-rule before-depend
i386/scsi/aic7xxx.c optional ahc device-driver \
dependancy "aic7xxx_seq.h"
When you use config with these entries, the Makefile will do the right thing
to create the header file for you.
