i'm not sure what that particular error is for, but you will need a more
complete source tree.  For example in usr/src/sys/arch/alpha/stand/ there
is a Makefile.inc which provides some CFLAGS which in turn point to an
include directory in usr/src/sys/arch/alpha.  So I'd try extracting all of

src/sys/arch/alpha/

or at least src/sys/arch/alpha/include and src/sys/arch/alpha/stand

but that still doesn't explain your particular error....
