I wrote down that error on paper and typed it in the email
... but I'm sure it said /usr/src ... that's why I decided
to set my /etc/fstab to mount freebsd-7.0 sources from another FreeBSD
box and symlink /usr/src.

I wonder the same thing because after doing that, even
though make was now OK (I was able to cd
/usr/ports/sysutils/screen && make install), other commands
failed (vi, Exec format error. Binary file not executable).

This is a Dell PowerEdge SC1435 with two Opteron 2210
processors and 8 Gb RAM.

I tried running brandelf on some executables, but brandelf
itself would not run!

We reinstalled the box from scratch, reformatting the disk
and now choosing a Standard install (Developer: full
sources, docs, no X and no games) to no avail.
