How does it die, might I ask?

And so, we install includes for the libc which you haven't yet built, and
so, compile_et won't link.  That certainly isn't a solution.

compile_et HAS to be built before "make includes" - the "make depend" will
rebuild it after the fact.  If it's compiler warnings that cause the
breakage, the "cd domestic/usr.bin/compile_et && make" should include the
make option COPTS=-w to disable warnings.
