I noticed something similiar.  After getting that error, I did a
"make newvers" (or something like that) and then did "make" again.
I noticed that the kernel now detects TWO hard drives at boot time 
when I only have one.  I have to look into it a little more to 
determine if it was a patch or if I had that problem before.
 
Where is libcompat.a?  Do I have to recompile the libraries or something?  
For now, I just have a dummy one and compiled most (but not all) of the 
games that way.

OK, I have more than one question.  :-)  Where can I find the latest
FAQ?  I found one on agate dated August something, but haven't seen
anything newer.

Thanks in advance,
