OK; I got it to work:  seems that there were some (extraneous?) .depend
files in my source tree; in particular, one of them was claiming that
the above-mentioned strfile depended on stdlib.h.  Issuing

	find /usr/src -name .depend -print

identified the 5 or 6 that were there; I removed each of them,
re-started the buildworld, and it finished successfully by the time I
got up this morning.

Cheers,
david
