I'm a very new user to unix and bsdi and am not giving up on learning this system, but I could 
really use some help.

I have just installed 2.0 of BSD and now I need to compile a new kernel to use
PPP.  I have added the correct options to my kernel file as well as cleaned up the file a little. 
the following happens in sequence:

cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/	;Works Fine
cp GENERIC LOCAL		;Works Fine
vi LOCAL			;Works Fine
config LOCAL			;Works Fine
cd /usr/src/sys/compile/LOCAL	;Works Fine
make depend			;Works Fine
make				;Here is where all hell breaks loose,
	After I issue the above command the system tells me that libkern
	needs to be compiled first.
	do:
	   cd ../../sys/libkern
	   make obj
	   make depend
	   make
	The book also tells me this:
	So, I do:

cd ../../sys/libkern		;Works Fine
make obj			;Returns: /usr/src/sys/libkern -> /usr/obj/sys/libkern
make depend			;Returns: make: don't know how to make adddi3.c. Stop.
make				;Returns: make: don't know how to make adddi3.c. Stop.

until I get past this I con't recompile any new kernels, Please help me, I'm almost ready to 
teach my computer to fly.

Thank you,
