I have the same error on one of my machines.  I have two FreeBSD 
5.3-stable machines both cvsup'ed many times within hours of each other. 
  One gets this error the other does not.

FWIW:
I got past the error by building it without Win32 Codecs 
(-DWITHOUT_WIN32_CODECS)... not yet sure of the implications of that yet 
(although I'll bet I've got a good guess).
