No worries. You were building -stable, so the order of build is not critical,
as there is no new functionality added to either the kernel or userland for
-stable.
Building the kernel first is important for -current, where new functionality
might be necessary to successfully conduct the userland build.
You may restart the userland build at your convenience. You should not need
to clear /usr/obj first, but if you do so, be sure to "make obj" before
continuing.
