I rebuilt vim with additional options and got some errors. My changes were not the problem however.
If /bin/vi,vim, /usr/bin/vi,vim exist this error occurs.
Deleting existing binaries and links resolves the issue.
Note the way the install script gets rid of 1 binary. Funny.
The error message is borked by our use of symlinks.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/sources/vim71/src/xxd'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/sources/vim71/src'
root:/sources/vim71# make install
Starting make in the src directory.
If there are problems, cd to the src directory and run make there
cd src && make install

if test -f /usr/bin/vim; then \
mv -f /usr/bin/vim /usr/bin/vim.rm; \

cp vim /usr/bin
