Well, the line in question is:

	struct	pmap_physseg pmseg;	/* pmap specific (MD) data */

Looking at the code, <sys/sysctl.h> includes <sys/vm.h>, which
includes <vm/vm_param.h>, which includes <machine/vmparam.h>, which
includes either <machine/vmparam3.h> or <machine/vmparam3x.h>, both of
which define this struct as:

struct pmap_physseg {
	/* NULL */
};

This all happens before <vm_vm_object.h> is included, so it all looks
kosher to me.  Did someone already fix this?  Or can someone see, in
that chain of header files, something that I've missed?  I had this
very same error message with the vax port and the source tarballs from
January 23rd, but there it was a case of <machine/vmparam.h> needing
UVM defined in order to declare struct pmap_physseg.
