I'm not sure what "finally got around to" implies in your post, but the standard answer to this type of problem is to delete /usr/src/*, delete /usr/obj/* and start again. Stale dependencies, corrupt sources, cosmic rays... all might be contributing factors. :) Starting fresh at least guarantees you a level playing field.
