.. Usually my first reaction when I see something like this is:
.. 
.. cd sys/arch/i386/stand/biosboot  # or whatever other dir has a problem
.. rm {,obj/}.depend
.. make depend
.. 

Im my case make depend was not sufficient, but removing
/sys/arch/i386/compile/<CONF>/lib/kern/.depend did the trick.
