I attempted to reproduce the error message you received and could
not. This isn't a normal buildkernel make error one would expect to
see if the /usr/src makefiles are not correct.

You might want to include a lot more information for those
reading the list to be able to answer your question. Offhand, things
like the Release version, if your src install was done correctly, the
architecture you installed (amd64 vs i386) and if you've cvsup'd
again since you had the problem.
