>Description:
I have my source tree setup so that I have 3 branches checked out under
/usr/src.  I then have /sys linked to /usr/src/5x/sys on the 5-STABLE
system as shown below:

#ls -l / /usr/src

/:
total 67
:
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel        14 Jan  9 13:53 sys -> usr/src/5x/sys
:

/usr/src:
total 97416
drwxrwxr-x   2 root  operator       512 Jan 15 15:35 .snap
drwxr-xr-x  23 root  wheel         1024 Jan 15 16:52 4x
drwxr-xr-x  22 root  wheel         1024 Jan 15 16:49 5x
drwxr-xr-x  22 root  wheel         1024 Jan 15 16:49 6x
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root  wheel            4 Dec  5 01:52 sys -> /sys

The problem is that when I perform a make installkernel in /usr/src/5x,
the /sys link is reset to /usr/src/sys.  I then have to remove this link
and change it back to /usr/src/5x/sys, otherwise when I try to build a
port that requires the kernel sources, it will fail.

>How-To-Repeat:
Set up your /usr/src as shown above, then do a make installkernel

>Fix:

Apply the following patch to -CURRENT, and then MFC to 5-STABLE and
4-STABLE after a few days.
