As he said
"Buildkernel depends on /usr/obj being populated by the buildworld"
which disagrees with your statement
"[I] don't think I need to do a 'make buildworld' before recompiling
the kernel"
If you don't want STABLE (god knows why not though), you can simply
buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel, without installworld, but honestly,
why aren't you going to STABLE ? RELEASE is 4 months old. Think of all the
commits between November and March.
