Apparently there was some explanation of this in an earlier thread,
which I absent-mindedly deleted.

Some people have had some success with the following, until the
problem gets sorted out:

[brane] /usr/obj/usr/src # chflags -R noschg tmp
[brane] /usr/obj/usr/src # cd -
[brane] /usr/obj # rm -r usr/
[brane] /usr/obj # cd ../src
[brane] /usr/src # nohup time make world &
