This is a highly mysterious error.  Did you clean the tree before 
rebuilding?  Always a good idea to do a 'make distclean' if you're not sure 
what state your build tree is in.

If you get this from a clean build, then please put up a complete log of 
the build somewhere and we'll try to diagnose.

Cheers,
