Aack!! "make buildworld" doesn't kill that?? Wow. Why does it get
missed by buildworld (or cleanworld, if that's what buildworld uses)? Should
that get a PR? That program must have been sitting there for several *years*.
The irony here is that I have long treated /usr/obj as disposable
(i.e., I don't normally bother to back it up anywhere) because a) a "make
buildworld buildkernel" will recreate all of it, and b) both of those targets
include huge sequences of deletions that wipe out all existing versions of
stuff that they will create. Or so I have thought until now. Apparently,
the handbook needs to be updated to reflect the need to
/bin/rm -rf /usr/obj/usr
(or use newfs) before each buildworld just for safety's sake.

Yes, it certainly does. A quick newfs of the device where I keep
/usr/obj, and it seems to work perfectly now. I'm almost certain that this
same obsolete binary was what put a sudden halt to my updates of 10.3-STABLE
back in early October 2016, as well.

Well, in this case, /usr/obj is a mount point for a UFS2 file system,
so it's less messy and much faster just to newfs it and mount it again.
Anyway, thanks ever so much to Holger Kipp and Ian Lepore for finding
the problem, and thanks also to everyone else who tried. The buildworld
(complete with ccache) has completed, and right now a kernel (GENERIC except
for SCHED_4BSD instead of the wretched SCHED_ULE) is busily being built.
Then I will try a much more customized kernel, but I no longer expect any
serious obstacles, thanks entirely to the help I got here on this list.
