I see. Doing a "make everything TARGET_ARCH=foo -DNOCLEAN" should
probably be enough in most cases to sync the object tree, right?

That's mostly academic :-)
BTW: Do you have plans to remove the exception for non-cross builds
to have the object tree rooted under /usr/obj/$TARGET_ARCH?
The exception was created for make release, but from a pure
cross-building point of view it's inconsistent and is one of
the blockers to build, say, alpha on i386 and doing a native
install on alpha (the other would be having an empty temproot).
