Since I have just fallen into the trap. it seems to me that there should be 
more signs to indicate it.  At least a message that says: 

"Hey! You should remove your object tree before you do this.  Otherwise your 
build will fail and you'll be all over freebsd-questions wasting everybody's 
time!"

I wonder why "rm -rf /usr/obj" is not a standard part of "make buildworld".
