Did you use cvs import command when you put the FreeBSD source tree
into you local CVS? Normally CVS ignores number of files with specific
suffixes when you import it. Run `info cvs' and try looking for a section
`Ignoring files via cvsignore' and you'll find that `.so' is one such
suffix that is ignored by default. You can specify -I'!' to import command
to reset the ignore list.

Either chmod 1777 /usr/obj, or set environment variable MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX
to somewhere like $HOME/obj, so that a non-root user can write to OBJDIR.
Be careful not to put MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX in make.conf, or your
buildworld/buildkernel will stop at a strange place.
