Thanks for responding.  I used CVSUP to update the source.  This system is
actually a restore from another server that I dumped from.  The original
server worked just fine (I tried it as an experiment).  This is the only
issue I have seen on the restored server so far.  I just did a binary
upgrade and am now rebuilding all of the ports from scratch.  I will do as
you suggested when that is done (rm -rf /usr/src/) and start from scratch.
 I thought the fact that the compile failed was really strange.  I have
never seen that before.
