>Description:
While builiding a custom kernel, 'make depend' succeeds. But during make,
it complains

Building kernel library
ranlib libkern.a
ranlib : libkern.a : Incorrect File Format

*NOTE* my /usr/src/sys is NFS mounted from a Solaris 2.5 Sparc machine.	
>How-To-Repeat:
mount /usr/src/sys from a solaris 2.5 machine. then build the kernel in 
the standard manner.
>Fix:
This problem could well be with 'ranlib' or FreeBSD NFS client.
No obvious fix is known to me.
