It will save some time by avoiding to rebuild everything.  In this case
though, I *want* to build everything in one shot.  Building only parts
of the userland (with 'make libraries') resulted in a /usr/obj tree that
didn't look so fine (ld from /usr/obj/i386/... couldn't locate crt1.o,
and a few other problems).

After letting it run through the night the equivalent of:

	while true; do
	    make libraries && break
	    echo ''
	    echo "===== Restarting failed build at `date` ====="
	    echo ''
	done

I found out that 'make depend' worked but 'make everything' failed when
ld couldn't locate crt1.o.

I started suspecting overheating.  Now, after checking the fans of my
system and opening the case so that air flows freely around, the
buildworld I started an hour ago finished without problems.  Hmmm...

Sorry for the false alarm folks :/
