I have seen this often when a file has been moved in the repository;
e.g. when <vm/lock.h> became <sys/lock.h>.  It happens because make is
using the full pathname of the file which it gets from .depend, and
that pathname is no longer valid.  The problem is easily solved in
each instance by:

# rm {obj/,}.depend; make depend

You can fix it for your whole tree using:

# cd /usr/src; make cleandir && make depend

but that is overkill in most cases.

There probably isn't anything to fix; but there's no way we can tell
for sure without a log demonstrating the problem.
