i thought i was going to tear my hair out over this same problem... and
then one day it dissappeared.  it think it was with my last sup, where
i noticed the makefiles (/usr/src/share/mk/*) seemed to have been redone.
 
(the problem, incidentally, is that it had stuff like (this is out of
memory):
 
        @if test -d ${SOMEVARIABLE}; then \
                rm -rf ${SOMEVARIABLE}
 
which seems fine, but if you look at the behavoir or test, it seems 
rather unexpected...
 
        bash$ if test -d; then echo hi; fi
        hi
 
i would have thought that the directory <blank> would return false, but
it returns true... =(.  so this is what happens in the makefile:
 
        bash$: rm -rf
        usage: rm [-f | -i] [-dPRr] file ...
 
anyway, taking a glance at then new bsd.mk.obj, make cleanobj (the
routine that was causing this problem) has been cleaned up to:
 
        rm -f -r ${.CURDIR}/${__objdir}
 
anyway, this all seemed rather odd to me b/c i couldn't believe that
-current was that broken... i knew there had to be a way around it (
i tried changing my /bin/sh, which i usually keep as a static bash,
for example) but never found one besides most heinous hacking of the
makefile.
 
oh well..  it's fixed now =).
