problems compiling the src from diff directory...

Hello all,

I am running 5-1p10 and I wanted to try out -CURRENT. I cvsup-ed it in 
a different from /usr/src location. When I cd to that location and 
type "make buildkernel" I get:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
make buildkernel
"Makefile.inc1", line 744: warning: String comparison operator should 
be either == or !=
"Makefile.inc1", line 744: Malformed conditional ((!defined(NO_RESCUE) 
||  defined(RELEASEDIR)) &&  (${TARGET_ARCH} != ${MACHINE_ARCH} || 
${BOOTSTRAPPING} < 501101))
"Makefile.inc1", line 744: Missing dependency operator
"Makefile.inc1", line 746: if-less endif
"Makefile.inc1", line 746: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
*** Error code 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

I cannot figure out what is wrong. Please let me know.

Thanks,
Ivan
