I had the same problem the other day. Resolved it by essentially
blowing away the existing src directories (rename them if you want) and
doing a new cvs checkout. I know I seen someone post something a month
or two ago relative to using a cvs flag to effectively over-write
everything on the local system. Guess we're all supposed to be linux
cvs experts.

In my case, I was simply trying to do an update to asterisk (without
zaptel, zapata, etc), and that didn't work since some constants were
apparently defined in some non-asterisk header file (zaptel, I think, 
but I didn't bother to search it out) that were needed in one of the
channels modules. Sounds like you've bumped against the same issue.
