UPDATING says:
20080123:
To upgrade to -current after this date, you must be running
FreeBSD not older than 6.0-RELEASE. Upgrading to -current
from 5.x now requires a stop over at RELENG_6 or RELENG_7 systems.

I think the problem here simply is that you are relying on the headers
to be installed on the base system instead of in src|obj copies. I do
not know if/how we do it for bootstrapping though.
