I don't promise that it's "canonical," but an approach that has stood me
in good stead for several years has been to precede "make installworld"
with
rm -fr /usr/include.old && mv /usr/include{,.old}
thus causing the "make installword" step to completely re-create
/usr/include from scratch.
Granted, this will be of reduced utility if there are any other
procedures you use to update /usr/include.
