I would verify your object files are not corrupt before driving yourself
crazy digging deeper for a solution.
This is also a good reminder that the auto-partitioner allocating large
amounts of space for /usr/obj and /usr/src for machines which are not
used to build software is a waste of space that could otherwise be
allocated to /usr or elsewhere. It's not entirely clear to new users,
even after reading the documentation, why these are needed until after
the fact. With binary patches available via syspatch nowadays, I'm
willing to bet they remain empty on most production systems.
