This shouldn't be a problem, because "includes" is an undocumented private
target in src/Makefile.inc1. Running it independently of buildworld
is usually wrong. You would have to set the two sets to run buildworld.
You would also have to set the other set that doesn't default to the BIN
set, i.e., the SHARE set. To set all the sets to different values, you
would also have to set the following sets:
KMOD, LIB (these mostly default to the BIN set)
DOC, INFO, MAN, NLS (these mostly default to the SHARE set)
There is a little too much orthogonality here.
