I did
$ make buildworld <- this was done relatively irregularly
$ make buildenv
[Edit whatever I needed, typically in sys/sys and libexec/rtld-elf]
<nested env sh>$ cd libexec/rtld-elf
<nested env sh>$ make DEBUG_FLAGS=-g WITHOUT_TESTS=yes all
[Check built ld-elf.so.1, more edits]
<nested env sh>$ make ...

Now, if I modify anything in sys/, I have to repopuate staged headers in
the obj directory of buildworld.
