make buildworld failure

[John Van Ham]

Hi all,

Appologies if this has been covered before. I have spent a few days trawling
the net and mailing lists but haven't found a solution as yet.

After cvsuping the stable branch - running 'make buildworld' on a
4.4-release machine after some time I get the following error:

===> sys/boot/i386/btx/lib

I have tried removing /usr/obj/* and running 'make cleandir && make
cleandir' in /usr/src and cvsuping again - no luck.

I upgraded a 4.6-stable machine to 4.7-rc fine aswell as another 4.4-release
machine to 4.7-rc... Seems the third time isn't always lucky!

Suggestions please :)
