Yes, that is one of the issues working with HEAD (current) - there are times
the sources simply don't build, because of other updates made or part made
(partly because of the nature of CVS, this should be less of a problem after
we are no longer using that as our primary revision control system).

You simply need to wait a bit for the problem to be fixed, and update again.

For the issue you detected, it should be OK now, but these things happen
all the time.

Check out https://releng.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/build.cgi to see the cuurrent
state of the builds for the various branches (but note it can take several
hours after changes are made before anything shows up there), or for
some of the ports (architectures) you can get more specific info from
https://releng.netbsd.org/test-results.html - on that page just click
on the name of the architecture of interest, with the version of interest
(HEAD is current), if those exist there (not everything is covered) and
you'll get taken to a page with monthly build status graphs, where you
can see how often things are not building (and results from test runs,
where you can sometimes detect that although a version builds, it might
not work as desired - though problems with tests are often with the
tests themselves).
