RELENG-7 i386 Kernel Build Failure?

I may simply need to do a housecleaning and start fresh, but:

i386

After csup to RELENG-7 from 7-CURRENT, using:

host=cvsup.dk.freebsd.org

make buildworld ran with nary a hitch.

Optioned a copy of GENERIC for no 486, SCHED-ULE, saved as WBH

make buildkernel barfed on /usr/src/modules/zlib

Emptied ~/zfs *and* ~/zlib

Next try:

barfed on /usr/src/sys/modules/xl  no 'README to 'make'

Emptied that.  Knee-jerk reaction, as there IS a KERNCONF option for xl.  See 
below...


Next try:

==============

commented-out 'option xl' (no 3Com NIC's here anyway)

Next run:

Still barfed in /usr/src/sys/modules/xfs .. trying to speak to 'xl'

Emptied that ~/xfs

Next Run:

barfed in /usr/src/sys/modules/xe  '...don't know how to make bsd.README. stop'
We've seen that one before..

Despite my crude BFBI approach, something is just not right.

Building on a running 7-CURRENT from October iso snapshot.

Will wipe the dirtree and pull fresh sources from a different mirror.
