HELP!!!  Problem with math-co emulation in kernel ...

I've tried enabling either GPL_MATH_EMULATE and the regular MATH_EMULATE and 
each time I make the kernel, I get the following error:

kern_sysctl.o:  Undefined symbol '_hw_float' referenced from text segment

I've 'grep'ped through all the source code I can find.  I installed the kernel 
source code and plenty of other source code (although not all the GNU code -- 
although that shouldn't cause a problem with using just the "MATH_EMULATE" 
code included in the release).

I've messed with Linux, SCO, and SunOS/Solaris, but I'm quite new to BSD (I 
came from Linux because Adaptec doesn't support it).  PLEASE HELP ME!!!
