Okay.

/usr/src has not been altered since I ran the checkout. Is there some reason
to use svnlite rather than svn, which is how I did the checkout?

I'm not following your thinking here. If I've eliminated /etc/make.conf
from the picture, then ccache is not involved at all, so why should I wipe out
the cache contents?

At this point, that looks very optimistic, to say the least. :-) I've
tried "make cleanworld" (with /etc/make.conf still in place), and it failed
exactly like the buildworld example I posted before.

What do you expect the above to accomplish on a freshly installed system
on which no obsolete directories or libraries from a previous release should
exist?

I will try it with no /etc/{make,src}.conf then just to find out what
will happen, but I will still need a way to build from source with ccache
involved in the process for normal use because it typically cuts the build
times by 50% - 75% from the usual five or six hours elapsed time.
Thanks again for your suggestions. I will try it without
/etc/{make,src}.conf and report back.
