Make Buildworld Fails

Hello DragonflyBSD peoples:

   I recently installed the mininst.iso from
http://chlamydia.fs.ei.tum.de/pub/DragonFly/  to a blank drive. The install
went well and the machine boots. I then noticed that no source was included.
I initially began FTP'ing it down from the dragonflybsd ftp site, as I am
on a dial up and this allowed me to get it chunks. I chose this path:
ftp://ftp.dragonflybsd.org/dcvs/src as it needed to be done over several
days and I didn't want it to change on me midstream. My idea here was to
then cvsup to current. Since this was a blank install I figured I could
just put the source into /usr/src so this is my supfile:

*default host=cvsup.dragonflybsd.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
cvs-root
cvs-src
cvs-dfports

   After a successful cvsup session I then attempted a make buildworld. It
did not succeed, and below is a snippet as an example. I did not have
enough screen scroll back buffer to see all of it or where it began, but it
is mostly various similar renditions to the below snippet.

   I am not a Unix guru, more like a curious expirementer. I am also not a
coder so as far as for the type of help you probably would need I am at a
loss. Also I fully realize that in a project of this scope that problems
such as mine may rank more as a nuisance factor and be prioritized as such,
as they should be. However, with you guys being much more experienced with
this kind of thing I figured it couldn't hurt to run it by you. Any hints
or suggestions would be welcomed and appreciated. Thank you!
