Mysterious failures can often be avoided by doing this before your make
world:
rm -rf /usr/obj/*
find /usr/src -name obj -type l | xargs rm
This is especially true when upgrading from a relatively distant release
(distant in space or time :-). And it is especially true now, since
there were changes to "make" and to the structure of the obj tree in the
past 6 months.
