I had a little trouble when going to the 3/27
build that might cause others a bit of trouble.

It seems that the 'mk clean' rule doesn't delete
/sys/src/cmd/cc/cc.a8, necessary to build 8c.  So
if cc.a8 is hanging around when the *new* 8c gets
built, the new 8c gets linked with the old cc.a8
and makes a compiler that doesn't work, puking
on #include statements.

Should maybe the default clean: rule delete *.a$O
files?

The command
	mk nuke
will delete the archives;
	mk clean
leaves them there.  Our build scripts do the nuke, so I believe that
the archive did not have the archive, but if you updated an old
distribution and already had cc.a8 there, it could cause trouble.
