Let me explain ``make cleandir'' then.
*IF* you have a /usr/obj/usr/src/ tree, then ``make cleandir'' will clean
that tree out. Thus if somehow you have junk in /usr/src/, it will not
get cleaned out. On the second run of ``make cleandir'' it will notice
that /usr/obj/ is empty and assume you were building "in-place" and clean
out /usr/src/.
cd /usr/src ; make cleandir ; make cleandir
solves weird build problems much of the time.
