All of the RELENG_4.... have the following line at objdump.c:1553 fatal (_("Can't use supplied machine %s"), machine); What do you have? That line has a matched pair of "'s. It sounds like you have a corrupted source. The usual fix is to delete it and recvsup. Since, you still really haven't told us what you cvsup'ed, you should include "in-line" a copy of your cvsup file, so that we know what we are trying to diagnose :).
