It's not only make -DNOCLEAN
I don't have that set,
however I think you got it anyhow
as t survived a bit longer this time before falling over the fact
that /usr/obj/usr/src/tmp (a separate filesysytem here) filled up
Its probably due to all the files in usr/lib being duplicated in
usr/lib/aout instead of being just installed there to start with.
There's a 10 minute difference in thetimestamps between them.
Unfortunatly I sized /usr/obj/usr/src/tmp pretty close thinking
"this isn't going to grow THAT much".
