This was not the case for FreeBSD1.0.xx ; I too had similar problems and had to
resort to "rm -rf /sys/cimpile/CONFIG/* ; config <CONFIG> ; make depend ; make "
And only then got the correct kernel. I guess the Makefiles may need to be 
verified for correctness or we may be having a problem in "make" itself.

Just my 2 cents.
