:This kind of strange error makes me think about file corruption.
:
:Which mirror are you pulling your sources from, and what utility
:are you using to download them?
:
:I would try comparing a few of your source files with the ones
:you find here, and see if they really are the same or not:
:http://www.dragonflybsd.org/cvsweb
:
:I've had trouble occasionally with some of the mirrors munging
:files, so don't dismiss the idea without really checking first.

    It looks like a runaway symlink.  I would try blowing away /usr/obj,
    and make sure there is no funny business in /etc/make.conf or funny
    symlinks (like /sys) in /.

    Alternatively the source tree wasn't checked out or updated with -P.
    Make sure you have a ~/.cvsrc file with:

    cvs -q
    diff -u
    update -Pd
    checkout -P
    rtag -a
