does the file /usr/src/usr.sbin/config/mkmakefile.c  exist?  It exists
in 4.2, and I *presume* it exists in 4.3.  Let me look in the
browseable cvs repository:

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.sbin/config/mkmakefile.c

Yeah, it's still in the repository, so it looks like you somehow are
missing it.

cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/config  and verify that it is not there.

If your prior cvs'ing was OK, you should be able to more or less
enter
	# cvs up -Pd 
and get the missing file.  The cvs output would look something like:
(I deleted the file first.  This is on 4.2.)

[root at rachel config 0:153]# cvs up -Pd
cvs server: Updating .
U mkmakefile.c
root at rachel config 0:154]#

You should get version 1.27 of the file, if I read my CVS tags
properly.  The first line of the file should look like:

/*      $OpenBSD: mkmakefile.c,v 1.27 2007/11/27 14:56:31 chl Exp $        */

If this doesn't work, then other guys need to help scratch our
heads.  Version 1.30 is more recent, but may not work with -stable.
and see it appear.

Well, if it worked before, it still works ... you haven't updated
anything that's executing if the build bombs.
