Hello Daniel,

The missing file, opt_global.h, is produced by the config(8) utility from 
the kernel configuration file as part of the process of building a kernel. 
If you are using the standard GENERIC kernel configuration, you can fetch 
a pre-built package for 1.6.0pre7 from:
http://web.mit.edu/freebsd/openafs/amd64_fbsd_82/openafs-1.6.0.p7.tbz
If that package does not work for you, then I recommend that you build a 
kernel following the standard instructions, and pass the 
--with-bsd-kernel-build=/path/to/obj/KERNCONF argument to configure.  That 
should be sufficient to find the opt_global.h header.

I further note that you are attempting to force the amd64_fbsd_80 sysname, 
but there are source-code incompatibilities between 80, 81, and 82, so you 
should actually specify amd64_fbsd_82 if you are building for FreeBSD 8.2.
