then you did something wrong.

i re-install the srcdist rather often, and that includes blowing
away /sys/compile...

installing the srcdist, and the .h files from the bindist,
installing all of the patches in the patchkit,
cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/config ; make ; make install
cd /sys/i386/conf ; config KERNELNAME
cd /sys/compile/KERNELNAME
make

is exactly what you need to do.  it works.
