Ah, your "cvs co" failed to prune a bunch of directories.  You need to
"cvs co -P" -- the -P option prunes back empty directories when the

Yes, use the -u option to build.sh or set UPDATE=1 in your environment
before restarting.

I haven't tried to build an evbarm snapshot for a while -- I'll start
