Make world can't really clean things out of /usr/lib because it has
no simple way to determine what is used and what is not. On my -current
system, /usr/lib has just aout and compat sub-directories. I haven't
built ELF since upgrading from a clean 2.2.6-RELEASE installation.
I built selected ports on this system after the upgrade and subsequent
cleanup, so I didn't suffer any ports breakage doing this. YMMV unless
you cleanup all installed ports and build them again.
