 I wrote down that error on paper and typed it in the email
 ... but I'm sure it said /usr/src ... that's why I decided
 to set my /etc/fstab to mount freebsd-7.0 sources from another FreeBSD
 box and symlink /usr/src.

 I wonder the same thing because after doing that, even
 though make was now OK (I was able to cd
 /usr/ports/sysutils/screen && make install), other commands
 failed (vi, Exec format error. Binary file not executable).
 
 This is a Dell PowerEdge SC1435 with two Opteron 2210
 processors and 8 Gb RAM.
 
 I tried running brandelf on some executables, but brandelf
 itself would not run!
 
 We reinstalled the box from scratch, reformatting the disk
 and now choosing a Standard install (Developer: full
 sources, docs, no X and no games) to no avail.
