Buildworld Error, 5.3-RC1

Hi there, ran into the following problem after typing 'make buildworld'
on a freshly installed, freshly cvsup'ed system.

No changes were made to the default installation--  code was cvsup'ed to
RELENG_5_3 before the buildworld.

Hardware:  Gigabyte GA7N400 Pro2, Athlon XP2800+, 2 Gig Memory.
(dmesg upon request)

End of error output appears below:
