Yes. When you cd /usr/src/bin/sh (or wherever) and do a make, you are not
using WORLDTMP like `make world' does, so the behaviour is different anyway.
The bug is that `make all' from /usr/src uses the obj tree that `make world'
uses.
This doesn't affect the release. "Developer convenience" commits have to
wait until after 3.0.
