make won't make, flat refuses to -- I need help

[Andrew Falanga <ExcaliburAF@netscape.net>]

Ok,

   I am just about to the end of my knowledge on this one.  I need help 
on this one.  As I've stated before, I continually get

*** Signal 11

Stop in /usr/src/usr.bin/ssh/lib (line 195 of /usr/share/mk/bsd.lib.mk).
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src/usr.bin/ssh.

Whenever doing something with OpenSSH.  (Not to meantion other patches 
as well although they fail at different lines.)  At first, I was trying 
to load the patch.  I thought, ok, I'll just upgrade.  Probably better 
anyway.  So, I downloaded OpenSSH 3.0.2 and same thing.  (I DID download 
the OpenBSD version of the sources.)  So, I thought perhaps my earlier 
bout with the patch somehow screwed up my systems sources for ssh, and 
that's why it happened.  I therefore did, while in /usr/src/usr.bin, rm 
-r ssh, and subsequently did tar -zxvf src.tar.gz ./usr.bin/ssh from the 
/usr/src directory.  This put it all back in like it was never there 
before.  Then, I unpacked the OpenSSH upgrade...again.  Same thing.

Ok, I thought, somethings heywire with my make stuff.  Did a little 
reading on make and found the everything that manages it is in 
/usr/share/mk.  So, I downloaded base30.tgz from the official release 
directory and (while in /) did tar -zxvf base30.tgz ./usr/share/mk to 
restore what should be a clean and functioning make configurations. 
 NOPE, still got the same problem.  So, it's real simple, how do I fix it?

PS, are the command out of order?  Should make cleandir come after make? 
 I don't know, I'm just throwing things out there.  Should I perhaps 
download a base30.tgz from snapshots?  What's going on here?  I've never 
had this kind of trouble patching OpenBSD before.
