You have to compile GRASS 5.7 with GRASS 5.3-cvs HEAD (not release branch,
not official version). 
It is likely that the version of 5.3 you are linking into is outdated.
Both versions should be from the same week, preferably from
the same day (so
  cvs up -dP
can update it for you) as they are kept in sync.
