"make -DNOCLEAN world" would probably be better. That way, new obj
dirs will be created. It will take a bit longer though :(
Personally, I just "make all" every night (I sup each night),
"make install" occasionally and if the "make all" fails (it
redirects to a file), I do a "make world".

Anything in /usr/src/sys or /usr/src/include.
