The collection name for the entire source tree is `src-all', and it will
bring what currently exists in the specified directory up to spec with
what's on the CVS repository.  This differs if you are using CVS mode vice

Try cd /usr/src; make world.  If you do it in bin you'll only get the bin
tools, not the rest of the system.
