"I got fancy, and things blew up. Why?" How about erasing your source tree and closely following faq5.html and see what happens? Since you didn't indicate how you configured cvsup, I'm pretty sure that's where your problem is, you are probably trying to build -current instead of 4.5. There are a lot of ways to get source, cvsup is (in my mind) a single-platform (i386) solution in search of a problem. What performance gain it gives you is easily offset by one incident like this. Just use cvs properly, and I think you will have no problems. Nick.
