"build/gyp_v8" is supposed to be a python script, see http://code.google.com/p/v8/source/browse#svn%2Ftrunk%2Fbuild.
There are no instructions that I'm aware of that tell you to replace it with a directory. Maybe you mistyped (or mis-tab-completed) the command to check out GYP: svn co http://gyp.googlecode.com/svn/trunk build/gyp Note how this uses the target folder "build/gyp", not "build/gyp_v8". (Arguably that's a bad place to put the GYP checkout anyway, but it's been there forever and migrating it to third_party/gyp probably causes more problems than it solves.)
