Check your make configuration. Adding a -B, like make -B -j N buildkernel may work and is fast if -j is set to number or processors, but it's safer do a make -j 1 buildkernel, same for buildworld. Is this version-specific? I've been using -j4 or -j8 for years for buildworld and kernel (buildkernel + installkernel) on FreeBSD 8 and 9 with no problems. Probably on FreeBSD 7 also, but I don't recall. installworld is a different matter, always do that with a single job.
