I have followed your route and it worked just great.  That was my first time
through.

Now, I'm getting ready to update for the second time, and I have read
various people on this list running into trouble due to "stale
dependencies", and suggested solutions to this which range from "rm -rf
/usr/obj" (sounds a bit scary) to "make clean" (sounds more friendly).

My gut feel is that I should just start with "make clean", and then follow
your procedure as above again.

Yes? No?  Or something totally different?

Thanks,
Patrick.
