This is a completely different case.  In general, doing a make
includes with some random set of include files before a buildworld can
lead to problems.  You are better off updating to the older source and
doing a make includes from there so that the include files match your
libraries.

I'll look into seeing if this can easily be fixed, but it is not a
supported upgrade path.
