Hints for a more successful build:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Build a new kernel first:
This makes sure that any new system calls or features
expected by the new userland will be present. This
helps to avoid critical errors when upgrading.
Use object directories:
This helps to keep stale object
files from polluting the build if a Makefile "forgets"

same source tree for multiple machines.
To use object directories:
a) cd /usr/src ; make cleandir
b) Add "OBJMACHINE=obj.<arch>" to /etc/mk.conf
c) cd /usr/src ; make obj
b) Add "OBJMACHINE=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
c) Add "MKOBJDIRS=yes" to /etc/mk.conf
d) cd /usr/src ; make build
Note that running "make obj" in a directory will create

This helps to keep old
installed files (especially libraries) from interfering
with the new build.
To build to a DESTDIR, set the DESTDIR environment
variable before running make build.

the pathname of an initially empty directory.
Problems: you might need to update critical utilities
without using DESTDIR since nothing is executed
from what is installed in DESTDIR.
