Try looking in the makefile. The options are documented there.

I look through the CVSup log to see if anything "major" has been
changed. If so I "make world" in the evening (which takes about 9 hours
on my machine).

If the changes were rather simple I do a "make -DNOCLEAN buildworld",
which takes about an hour to figure out what needs to be done and then
build a couple of programs. After that completes, do a "make installworld".


Remember, though, the hierarchial makefile structure is complicated and
sometimes not everything will get built without the clean (libraries
seem to be a common stumbling point.
