} I found that the Makefile in /usr/include has an error for ufs.
} There are two lines 
} 
} LUDIR= ufs
} UDIRS= ufs/ffs ufs/lfs....
} 
}  
} down later in the Makefile there are "for" loops.  The loop that
} creates the directories is backwards.  It references UDIRS before
} LUDIR.  So the directory doesn't exist.  Switching the order on that loop
} works.
} 
} .for i in ${LDIRS} ${LUDIR} ${UDIRS} machine
}         if [ ! -d ${DESTDIR}/usr/include/$i ]; then \
}                 mkdir ${DESTDIR}/usr/include/$i; \
}                 chown ${BINOWN}.${BINGRP} ${DESTDIR}/usr/include/$i; \
}                 chmod 755 ${DESTDIR}/usr/include/$i; \
}         fi
} .endfor
} 
} 

How about `mkdir -p' instead, then the order doesn't matter.
