	For several years now I have used the following to buildworld:

cd /usr/src
rm buildworld.errors
rm -rf /usr/obj
#make clean
make -v cleandir; make -v cleandir
date > ./buildworld.time
#   make -j 5 buildworld >& ./buildworld.errors
make -v buildworld >& ./buildworld.errors
tail -n 25 /usr/src/buildworld.errors | sendmail huff

	I know when it started; when it ended, and I have the complete
log available in case something went wrong.
