I found my problem, and this is probably one that should be added to the
FAQ or handbook on staying -STABLE, since it seems that a very common
theme is "build broken?" sorts of questions...
Make absolutely sure that when you do your cvsup, you include src-all in
the supfile. There seems to be a sample supfile that lists the source
groups separately floting around; it is missing (at least) src-gnu, which
was the cause of my pain. I suspect that other people who report strange
build problems that re-CVSuping doesn't fix may be in the same boat.
FWIW, the way I found my problem was to blow away the src/gnu/bin/binutils
and src/gnu/lib/libgcc{,_r} and re-CVSup. When the buildworld blew because
libgcc source wasn't there, I had a much better clue.
