I tried a number of things, all of which failed.

Since the offending line is:

I went digging through makefiles and found:
   MK_CTF=no

Adding this to the command line permitted the build to complete and
the machine is now running on the new kernel. Hopefully this helps
others. I'm still not sure why the kernel refused to use swap but 
this is a very easy to duplicate issue.
