'make -DNOCLEAN world' is pretty much an "All bets are off!" type option.

I run it periodically, but then again, I read every single commit message,
and look over a good deal of the diffs too, so I have a pretty good idea
what to expect.

As for "Hmm, where did it get up to?", I always 'script' builds so I can
see exactly where, so I can decide whether to manually finish the last step
or two and then 'make depend && make all && make install'

And then I go and do something stupid and edit stdio.h or sys/errno.h which
hits 99.9% of the .depends for each target and have to start from scratch
next time.
