I've explained this a number of times now: buildworld only runs a single 'cleandir' which is insufficient to remove any stale .depend files in your SOURCE tree, if you already have an OBJECT tree present. Running two 'cleandirs' sequentially (or equivalently, rm -rf /usr/obj && make cleandir) will clean out stale build files from your source tree as well. The only way a .depend file can get into your source tree in the first place if is you've been building things manually, in which case it's your responsibility to clean things up again. Exactly how to go about cleaning things up has been explained to you by several people. Kris
