The original idea was to make the bootstrap actually work -- `make all'
can't be run in src/include because relevant tools like rpcgen haven't
been built yet.
The problem seems to be that cpio creates bogus links and there aren't
enough fixups. The correct fix may be to back out the large but
incomplete fixups in rev.1.185-1.186 of src/Makefile. I've never used
it, and the mtree breakage that inspired it (following symlinks) seems
to be fixed in another way (nochange directives in BSD.usr.dist).

This is not correct. It breaks the initial build of the obj tree (if NOCLEAN
is set initially).
