Well,

I did something quite stupid... I cvsuped to RELENG_5_0 Accidently... managed to get all the way to 'make installworld' but when I rebooted from single user mode it wouldn't boot my new kernel... so I booted kernel.old (5.3-RELEASE) that's working fine... so... I've now cvsuped to RELENG_5 and get this error.

So Essentially I'm trying to compile the kernel on a 5.3 kernel with 5.0 compilers :/

Consider a binary update. Throw in a CD-ROM, choose "Upgrade" and follow
the instructions. I'm not sure whether sysinstall makes a backup of
/etc, because this upgrade overwrites configuration files, passwd and so
on. Pay attention ... well, too late. :-P
