And I seem to have found the reason.  I am not sure if this problem was due
to an existing issue with my system or the new buildworld, but, I found
that /usr/share/nls/en_US.US-ASCII was a symlink to 'C' in the same
directory.

There was no entry for 'C' and so I removed the symlink entirely.  I then
went back to /usr/src and performed another "make installworld" and it
installed successfully.
