Joseph, again, the handbook has an answer to your question: ,----- | As parts of the system are rebuilt they are placed in directories | which (by default) go under /usr/obj. The directories shadow those | under /usr/src. | | You can speed up the ``make world'' process, and possibly save | yourself some dependency headaches by removing this directory as well. | | Some files below /usr/obj will have the immutable flag set (see | chflags(1) for more information) which must be removed first. | | # cd /usr/obj | # chflags -R noschg * | # rm -rf * `----- > Yes, I was running as root.
