You need to use 'cvs update -dP' so that CVS prunes the empty directories 
out of the source tree. These empty directories are leftovers from an earlier 
source tree version. This is unfortunately standard CVS behaviour. You are 
quite correct that they are not Solaris specific problems they can bite even 
when working on NetBSD.

Would doing a build -U help as it doesn't need root to work?
