well, in the directories that 'make build' never got to cvs created the 
directories and never removed them so 'make cleandir' keeps getting caught up.
since 'make cleandir' has to start over from the beginning after every problem
like this i have blown away /usr/src and am re-checking it out right now.

are there any reasons why they aren't addressed?  is this something we are
going to have to live with, or will this all get sorted out at some point?
