FreeBSD 5.2 RELENG source fails to build

[Joe]

How I installed:

   First I installed FreeBSD 4.6, then using cvsup with a file
similar to below, I upgraded the system from 4.6, to 4.7, to
4.8, to 4.9, then to 4.10, all by source code.  Never had a
problem.

    Then my drive crashed and so I bought a new one and
installed FreeBSD 5.2.1 as that was the latest at the time of
the crash. 

    PRISTINE install of 5.2.1 using network install.

    Then I ran cvsup

        cvsup cvsup_file

     The cvsup file was just like the one below, but it said 5_2
instead of 5_3.  I was able to build the system with 5.2.1 and
uname -a showed patch 11.

    > make buildworld
    > cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf 
    > config MYKERNEL 
    > cd ../compile/MYKERNEL 
    > make && make install
    > reboot
    
then 
    > make installworld  

    That's pretty much how I got from 5.2.1 install to 5.2.1
p11.   Worked perfectly fine.  


   Then changing the cvsup file below to be what is it, I ran 

    > cvsup cvsup_file
    > cd /usr/src
    > make clean
    > make buildworld 

The first error message was on that 

/usr/src/contrib/gperf/lib/getopt.h is missing.

Then I copied what was in /usr/include to gperf/lib directory
and restarted make buildworld .  2 more directories complained
about this same file missing so both times I did the same 

    > cp /usr/include/getopt.h to config/ directories.

    This solved the first problem.

    The next error message was also in the contrib directory, at
this point I dont remember the exact message, but it was
complaining that bconfig.h was missing.

   So I then tried 

    > rm -rf /usr/src/contrib 
    > rm -rf /usr/src/gnu 
    > cvsup cvsup_file

   I ran into the same problems.

   I have now reverted back to 5.2.1 and it is building
perfectly fine.

   So going from 5.2.1 p11 to 5.3, was there some step I missed?

   I've never had to do use the line

   src-all tag=RELENG_2_2_5_RELEASE list=cvs:RELENG_2_2

   before, do I need to do this now?  

    Why or how, if I completely deleted the contrib directory
would old files get there?
