You mean you upgrade to RELENG_5_1?  Beware that this branch
is currently not buildable: libpthread build is broken.

The error above is expected error, and does not (should not)
the buildworld to fail -- as the first step, src/Makefile
checks to see if the available make(1) binary is adequate to
build world; it does this by passing it by running the make
regression tests, and should they fail, builds a new make
from fresh sources.  The errors above indicate that some of
the regression tests have failed, and this causes the new
make to be built.
