Looks like you're missing icmp6.c.  In theory the changes to the Makefile
and to add icmp6.c occurred at the same time, but CVS doesn't have atomic
changesets.  As a result there's a small but non-zero change you'll get
an
inconsistency if you are sync'd during a change in the tree.  Try
re-cvsup'ing and hopefully it will go away (my systat on RELENG_4 builds
locally fine, and icmp6.c pops out of CVS Ok for me).
