There is an easier solution than cleaning the previous build:

	./etc/postinstall -d /your/destdir check obsolete
	./etc/postinstall -d /your/destdir fix obsolete

That should fix the checkflist failures for now-obsolete files,
except for upgraded shared libraries (which I may write a fix for
later; there is src/lib/checkoldver which might help as well).
