Hi,
Have you really followed steps in /usr/src/Makefile ?
I have added step 0 and 1a, that are useful if previous builworld fail.
# For individuals wanting to upgrade their sources (even if only a
# delta of a few days):
#
# 0. `rm -rf /usr/obj' {Added by me}
# 1. `cd /usr/src' (or to the directory containing your source
tree).
# 1a. `make cleanworld' {Added by me, usefull if previous builworld
failed}
# 2. `make buildworld'
# 3. `make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is
GENERIC).
# 4. `make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is
GENERIC).
# [steps 3. & 4. can be combined by using the "kernel" target]
# 5. `reboot' (in single user mode: boot -s from the loader
prompt).
# 6. `mergemaster -p'
# 7. `make installworld'
# 8. `make delete-old'
# 9. `mergemaster' (you may wish to use -U or
-ai).
# 10. `reboot'
# 11. `make delete-old-libs' (in case no 3rd party program uses them
anymore)
