I'm sorry to say, but as soon as I read "update to HEAD" I recognized
the problem. Namely, you have been mislead by "cvs":


You're right.  I now have a clean build.

    cvs -d [email protected]:/cvs checkout -rHEAD -P src

definitely !=

    cvs -d [email protected]:/cvs checkout -P src

and the latter did indeed work fine.

"HEAD" DOES NOT MEAN WHAT YOU THINK IT DOES.

The pseudo-tag "HEAD" means "the most recent version ON THE CURRENT
STICKY BRANCH, IF ANY".


So, you do
   cvs update -rOPENBSD_4_8

No, sorry, I started with an empty /usr/src. Given that, what would checkout -rHEAD [as shown above] do? I'm trying to understand, "wrap my head around", if you will, this concept... Thanks.
