This means that either /usr/obj/usr/src/secure/usr.bin/openssl
or /usr/src/secure/usr.bin/openssl have the "openssl" file,
where it's supposed to be a directory in /usr/obj/...

rm -r /usr/obj/usr/src/secure/usr.bin/openssl

What "make clean" is trying to do is equivalent to trying to
"rm /COPYRIGHT/foo".

Note that "make clean" is only guaranteed to work if the
object tree was populated using this same sources; everything
else is not guaranteed to work, and "make cleandir" is
advised instead, though even this may break when the types
of some files change from "file" to "directory", like has
happened with /usr/obj/usr/src/secure/usr.bin/openssl/openssl.

Are you perhaps downgrading from 5.x?
