Simon Shapiro has been seeing this one for some days now.  It is
symptomatic of a shell problem.  

Check /usr/obj/.../lib/libedit/common.h : the first few lines should read :

/* Automatically generated file, do not edit */
#ifndef _h_common_c
#define _h_common_c

The file is generated by this code in src/lib/libedit/makelist :

FLAG="$1"
shift

FILES="$@"

case $FLAG in
-h)
    OIFS="$IFS"
    IFS=".$IFS"
    set - $FILES
    IFS="$OIFS"
    hdr="_h_`basename $1`_$2"
    cat $FILES | $AWK '
        BEGIN {
            printf("/* Automatically generated file, do not edit */\n");
            printf("#ifndef %s\n#define %s\n", "'$hdr'", "'$hdr'");
        }

which is invoked as :

	sh ${.CURDIR}/makelist -h ${.CURDIR}/common.c > ${.TARGET}

On my system here, with SHELL=/usr/local/bin/tcsh it works fine.  Are
you using bash as your login shell?

Simon promised me a login on his system to pursue this; it's not quite
happening yet.  I'm about to run out of steam, and he's not in the
office. 8(
