Something I've been doing for a while to avoid that is to augment the
steps listed in src/UPDATING by prefixing the "make installworld" with
rm -fr /usr/include.old && mv /usr/include{,.old}
so once "make installworld" has completed, /usr/include is fresh.
I have had very few breaks -- even in CURRENT -- over the years since
adopting the approach. (And I generally track CURRENT daily.)
Note that the approach is not appropriate for a machine that has
/usr/include updated outside of the "make installworld" process -- but
my machines don't have that issue. (Still, note that I "move aside" the
old /usr/include, just in case....)
Peace,
david

I submit that "conspiracy" would be an appropriate collective noun for cats.
