This was an error message I got while trying to make buildworld on a barely-functioning FreeBSD installation. If you encounter something like this, you might need to dig through /usr/src and manually make install the requisite libraries (like /usr/src/lib/libc for libc) and their dependencies. After a while, you should have enough of a system to successfully make buildworld. Good luck!
