Is this article noch valid with regards to WITH_DIRDEPS_BUILD?

I tried to enable it in /etc/src-env.conf with the result
that only the destroy targets were offered:

# make buildworld
ERROR: 'buildworld' is not a valid target for amd64.

You can see the targets which are valid for a given machine
by running 'env MACHINE=<machine> make show-valid-targets'
For other information, read:

# make show-valid-targets
Other targets:
  destroy
  destroy-arch
  destroy-host
  destroy-stage

The same behavior is observed with /usr/obj from a previous
buildworld with only WITH_META_MODE=yes or with a clean obj
directory ...
