I can understand. I cvsup'ed yesterday only to find that ipfilter was broken due to having it it moved out of the base os tree and into contrib. I tried fixing this by modifying the source to use the header files in the local ipfilter directory rather than /usr/include/netinet, but then I recieved a new set of undefined symbol errors with kmemstat among others (perhaps we need to build the new kernel first?). Today I cvsup'ed yet again only to find that perl won't build either now. What's going on here? I know I'm not the only one with this build problem. I've seen numerious posts about this: ipfilter, ipmon.c, etc. I've yet to see a good answer.
