I often do:

ref=/export/FreeBSD/$date ; mkdir -p $ref
echo -n " @@@@@ Reference start: " ; date "+%y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
(cd $src/etc  && make DESTDIR=$ref distrib-dirs distribution )
(cd $src/.    && make DESTDIR=$ref installworld)
echo -n " @@@@@ Reference done:  " ; date "+%y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"

along w/ the normal "make installworld" so that I can compare
what I have in all my directories w/ the pristine version in $ref

I don't bother to check this each time I make world, but do across
major version changes, and occasionally across minor version changes.
