> I add "options SOFTUPDATES" and my kernel won't compile

Please don't simply turn options on without reading about them first -
that is just foolish.  Had you even bothered to look at LINT *before*
you sent this message, you would have clearly seen the comment:

# Soft updates is technique for improving file system speed and
# making abrupt shutdown less risky.  It is not enabled by default due
# to copyright restraints on the code that implement it.
# 
# Read ../../ufs/ffs/README.softupdates to learn what you need to
# do to enable this.  ../../../contrib/sys/softupdates/README gives
# more details on how they actually work.
#
#options                SOFTUPDATES

By failing to do even this most basic of steps yourself, you only
waste everyone's time with bogus failure reports.  Don't.
