No, that is not an error. Look at the symbol "c:build-program". You
are asking for an exported symbol, but at the moment the reader sees
your form the C package is empty because the form (require 'cmp) has
not yet taken effect. Hence, the reader finds no external symbol.

If you rather use c::build-program the reader will create an internal
symbol which will get replaced when the compiler is loaded.

If you split the statement into two -eval forms, then first the
compiler is loaded and then the second string is parsed into a lisp
form and evaluated.
