I like building it in the compile directory.  You can move it to usr.bin
when it becomes as stable as `as' (and stabler than config :-).

I'd also like to build the syscall tables on the fly and not maintain them
as sources in cvs.  I think this works for everything except syscall.h
and maybe syscall-hide.h.
