I suggest a:

	cd /usr/src
	make beforeinstall
	make all

There is a pre-pass that's done in the beforeinstall that moves the
right include files into place.  And no, I can't say I've ever liked it
either, but I have nothing better to suggest for now..

No, it's not quite _that_ pathological.. :-)

I suggest `make world', myself.  This will also do all the beforeinstall
stuff.
