OK, it seems that ``make clean'' does not remove the contents of
/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/tmp/legacy.  If I delete everything
under /usr/obj then ``make buildkernel'' works.

Still, it seems pretty strange to me to make building a kernel
depend on some random junk which is left laying around under
/usr/obj.
