And read /usr/src/UPDATING which also warns about this

A very large number I suspect.

IMHO, the correct solution is to for the entire make world process to
be re-worked.  I believe the process should always be to boot a new
kernel first (as bde(?) commented - it's much easier to recover from a
broken kernel than a broken world), and then install a new world.
Getting there from here is non-trivial - the major problem being that
our build process does not adequately differentiate between compiling
code that must run now and code that must run with the new kernel.
