 These are normal error messages.  Relates to the fact that the configure
script is also used for the Vanilla server.

 Lines 25 and 28 of the system.mk most likely relate to the RSASRC and
RSAOBJ defintions.

If you look at how configure creates system.mk by default, it writes out
this:

RSASRC          = # rsa_box.c rsa_box_0.c rsa_box_1.c rsa_box_2.c \
                rsa_box_3.c rsa_box_4.c rsa_box_5.c rsa_box_6.c \
                rsa_box_7.c rsa_box_8.c rsa_box_9.c rsa_box_10.c

The '#' character is used as a comment.  But what I suspect is happening in
your case is that your make program is trying to interpret that second line
as something.

 I don't currently have a FreeBSD system available to confirm this.  I was
able to compile it on Solaris Version 7 fairly well.

 Check your system.mk on those previous versions to see what is different in
the RSASRC and RSAOBJ sections.  Are you defining RSA to be on in those
previous builds?
