Is the mklocale used by buildworld in /usr/obj or the already  
installed version (in (/usr)/bin)?
If it's the latter, that would explain why we've seen so many reports  
of this: people build a broken version of mklocale, install it along  
with the rest of "world", and then tries to build a healthy world  
source tree with a broken mklocale... in which case the fix would be to
1) cvs/svn update
2) rebuild + install mklocale
3) rebuild + install world
