Make world problems from 4.9 to 5.1

Is that the reason why "make installworld" produces errors sometimes
during its execution in 5.1. And afterwards many commands coredump.
Needless to say requiring a complete reinstall.
should I do "make world" in such cases instead of "make buildworld" &
"make installworld"?
