The thing is that a working buildworld doesn't depend on headers from / 
usr/include. One of the first thing it does is install a set of new  
headers in somewhere like /usr/obj/usr/src/tmp. At this point, it  
might be useful to see a log of a failed buildworld attempt to see  
what is going wrong.
