Sorry to inject a little fact into such a good argument, but....

Quoted from 1.0's /usr/src/Makefile (Makefile,v 1.19):

build:
	(cd include && ${MAKE} install)
	${MAKE} cleandir
	(cd lib && ${MAKE} depend && ${MAKE} && ${MAKE} install)
	(cd gnu/lib && ${MAKE} depend && ${MAKE} && ${MAKE} install)
.if exists(kerberosIV)
	(cd kerberosIV && ${MAKE} depend && ${MAKE} && ${MAKE} install)
.endif
	${MAKE} depend && ${MAKE} && ${MAKE} install

Quoting from 1.1's /usr/src/Makefile (Makefile,v 1.25):

build:
	(cd ${.CURDIR}/include && ${MAKE} install)
	${MAKE} cleandir
	(cd ${.CURDIR}/lib && ${MAKE} depend && ${MAKE} && ${MAKE} install)
	(cd ${.CURDIR}/gnu/lib && ${MAKE} depend && ${MAKE} && ${MAKE} install)
.if exists(domestic)
	(cd ${.CURDIR}/domestic/libcrypt && ${MAKE} depend && ${MAKE} && ${MAKE} install)
.endif
.if exists(kerberosIV)
	(cd ${.CURDIR}/kerberosIV && ${MAKE} depend && ${MAKE} && ${MAKE} install)
.endif
	${MAKE} depend && ${MAKE} && ${MAKE} install

and 1.2's (Makefile,v 1.35):

build:
	(cd ${.CURDIR}/share/mk && ${MAKE} install)
	${MAKE} includes
	${MAKE} cleandir
	(cd ${.CURDIR}/lib && ${MAKE} depend && ${MAKE} && ${MAKE} install)
	(cd ${.CURDIR}/gnu/lib && ${MAKE} depend && ${MAKE} && ${MAKE} install)
.if exists(domestic) && !defined(EXPORTABLE_SYSTEM)
	# XXX should do the whole of domestic/lib
	(cd ${.CURDIR}/domestic/lib/libcrypt && ${MAKE} depend && ${MAKE} && \
	    ${MAKE} install)
.endif
	${MAKE} depend && ${MAKE} && ${MAKE} install

1.3's (Makefile,v 1.42.2.1):

build: beforeinstall
	(cd ${.CURDIR}/share/mk && ${MAKE} install)
	${MAKE} includes
.if !defined(UPDATE)
	${MAKE} cleandir
.endif
	(cd ${.CURDIR}/lib/csu && ${MAKE} depend && ${MAKE} && ${MAKE} install)
	(cd ${.CURDIR}/lib && ${MAKE} depend && ${MAKE} && ${MAKE} install)
	(cd ${.CURDIR}/gnu/lib && ${MAKE} depend && ${MAKE} && ${MAKE} install)
.if exists(domestic) && !defined(EXPORTABLE_SYSTEM)
	(cd ${.CURDIR}/domestic/lib/ && ${MAKE} depend && ${MAKE} && \
	    ${MAKE} install)
.endif
	${MAKE} depend && ${MAKE} && ${MAKE} install

With 1.4 (Makefile,v 1.95), the build target gets longer than I want to
quote in full, but the "build the world" line is

	${MAKE} depend && ${MAKE} ${_J} && ${MAKE} _BUILD= install

1.5 (Makefile,v 1.118.2.1) seems to be when dependall came in.

Where are these hooks?  Where are they documented?  I just had a look
at -current's /usr/src/BUILDING and I see only very coarse-grained
control, and mostly type-of-thing control (eg, MKMAN to control
manpages) rather than functional-area control (eg, a way to suppress
UUCP, or IPv6, or Kerberos, support).  MKTTINTERP and MKX11, and
possibly MKNLS (I'm not entirely sure what the latter controls), are
the only functional-area controls I see.
