This is an increasingly popular answer to builds that fail. Perhaps
we should look a little more deeply into how that can happen in the
first place.
I mean, a buildworld sets off on a flurry of file removals when it
starts up. Why would it miss some?
And "cvs update" with the "-Pd" switches should keep your source
tree clean.
In my case, I keep /usr/obj mounted on its own small filesystem
because:
A) A newfs is =much= faster that the above mentioned removals.
2) I mount it async, which saved around an hour in the
pre-softupdate days.
So I don't usually worry about sludge in /usr/obj. But we still must
wonder about sludge in the source tree, short of someone manually
putting things there (and then cvs will make note of it).
