working again: sysbuild of netbsd-10 from netbsd-10 fails after upgrade of itself

Just to let everyone know, the self-build of netbsd-10 on i386 is
working A-OK again.

There was one hiccup with the tools/compat stuff due to changes to
visibility of some inlined functions in <sys/endian.h>.  That was fixed
by removing the tools/compat objects, thus forcing the build to re-run
the configure script there again.

There was one other weird problem with an object file in the MONOLITHIC
kernel build directory, if_xge.o, that somehow didn't have a SUNW_ctf
section and nbctfmerge was bailing out as a result:

   ERROR: nbctfmerge: Input file if_xge.o was partially built from C sources, but no CTF data was present

Removing that file allowed the build to succeed.

So, removing the whole object tree would have solved the problem, but I
wanted to figure out the details to see if there was anything that could
or should be done to make such an upgrade path a bit smoother.

At this point I don't think anything better could be done to
automatically fix an incremental build for the <sys/endian.h> fixes.

However maybe a note should be (have been!) included in src/UPDATING
about this issue.  However it looks like src/UPDATING is effectively
stale on the release branch, so maybe that's not the right place?  As
far as I can tell there was no note added about this for -current either
-- did anyone encounter the same problem with -current at the time?
(that would be 2024-09-09)

As for the missing SUNW_ctf information -- that's just weird as all the
other existing files compiled at the same time in that directory have
the section.

Now I need to remember to do more timely upgrades from the daily builds.
Perhaps I should just have a cron script run sysupgrade and then
reboot....  It's just a test machine for now after all.
