You're not -- I just haven't gotten around to making noise yet.

I believe the -current 'make snapshot' does this automatically.

This must be how we clear out the full-sized .o's before rebuilding them
with #ifdef MINIMAL_CODE_FOR_TEENY_RAMDISK_ROOT turned on :)

Now that we've got a fix for crypto in -current, maybe someone should look
into the same idea for distrib.
