:Hmm, I was sure I did do that. Starting it all again has solved my problem.
:My bad! Thanks.

    Another thing that you (and everyone) should watch out for are stale
    files in /usr/src from manual builds (e.g. like the one you just tried
    to do in libc).  These can cause odd problems later on.  To clean those
    out type 'make cleandir; make clean' in /usr/src.

    When building a program or library manually you can keep /usr/src clean
    by doing a 'make obj' before 'make', which will cause the build to put
    generated files (like object files) in /usr/obj/usr/src/<blah> rather
    then /usr/src/<blah>.

    The 'make obj' trick is also used by people who have multiple machines,
    by allowing one machine to hold a master copy of /usr/src and then 
    do a read-only NFS export of /usr/src to the other machine(s).

    [a buildworld creates its own object hierarchy in /usr/obj, you do not
    need to do anything special for buildworlds].
