I just got a freebsd system going, running 2.2.1, and I'm trying to
compile a custom kernel.  I've done this in linux, but I'm just not
familiar with the freebsd method.  Anyway, "make depend" completes without
errors, but when I run "make" I get the following message :
 make
".depend", line 2439: Need an operator
Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue

Lines 2438 - 2440 of .depend look like this :

 ../i386/i386/support.s ../../i386/i386/swtch.s ../../i386/i386/locore.s
/usr/src/sys/compile/SKIDPLATE
exception.o: ../../i386/i386/exception.s npx.h assym.s \

Any ideas as to what I'm missing ?  Like I said, I'm not familiar with the
FreeBSD method of building a custom kernel, and don't have a clue what
"operator" is missing.  Any help is appeciated.
