pkg fails to compile

[Sin]

Here's how I've been trying to upgrade it, if there's another way I'd like 
to know:

root at EIGHT:/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg # pkg upgrade pkg

root at EIGHT:/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg # pkg -v
1.5.5




Also try using " MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE=yes  " , same error, also tried " make 
install clean ", same error message.

This is also the same error aftrer rebuilding the entire Freebsd 8 and 
upgrading to stable, then rebuilding kernel + world and then latest portsnap 
fetch of the ports tree on a seperate test machine.
