	You're reading that wrong.  The __initialized__ stuff is like the
#ifdef/#define multiple inclusion protetion you see in header files.
make obj creates directories for the object files to go in when you build.

	These problems are fixed.  You just need to read the UPDATING file better.
You need to rebuild make.   From UPDATING:

20010114:
    introduce .if commands(target) in make(1). You need to
    bring everything up-to-date first, then without installing
    anything make and install in usr.bin/make, then proceed
    with make build.

Since you already installed the .mk files you have to build it by hand:
cd usr.bin/make && cc *.c */*c -o /usr/bin/make

The answer to the gas/kernel compile issue is in UPDATING too (20010803).

I suppose those could be improved to include the easier to do instructions.
(like just remove I686_CPU from the kernel config.)
