Sendmail Patch Problem?

["L. V. Lammert" <lvl_(_at_)_omnitec_(_dot_)_net>]

I just applied the Sendmail patch successfully, .. and then tried to build 
a release; all hummed fine until:

Is this an issue with the patch, building the release, or my system config 
(OpenBSD 3.2 stable, upgraded recently from 2.9 according to the upgrade-faq)?

	TIA,
