Thanks, I will do a buildworld before a buildkernel next time.
I issue KERNCONF= in this case, because I specified it in
/etc/make.conf for my own kernel configuration.

Okay, so I changed my stable-supfile:
#*default host=cvsup.de.FreeBSD.org
*default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org

did another csup, and tried a buildkernel again. I'm happy to say that
it finished successfully. From my point of view it appears that
cvsup.de.freebsd.org is out of sync.
buildworld is running and I will do another buildkernel with my own
kernel configuration afterwards.

cvsup.de.freebsd.org is definitely out of sync. I had build errors  
which only went away after switching to a different cvsup server

This is a not-uncommon problem with lots of CVSup servers.  edwin@
maintains a statistics page at http://www.mavetju.org/unix/freebsd-mirrors/
that is worth studying - it shows that cvsup.de.freebsd.org is badly
out of sync, though cvsup5 should be OK.

Suggestions for a small script:
Hack the Perl script
sysutils/fastest_cvsup
which currently uses a hard coded hash for %FREEBSD_SERVERS
Instead, the script could parse
http://www.mavetju.org/unix/freebsd-mirrors/cvsup-stats-global.php
and use only "green" servers for the %FREEBSD_SERVERS hash.
