>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2-RELEASE i386
>Environment:

2.2-RELEASE 'make world' performed on machine A, 2.2-mumble on machine B.
B NFS mounts A and 'make reinstall' done on B.

>Description:

In order to succeed, a 'make reinstall' requires recreating osreleasedate.h
(or some such). This requires that /usr/obj be mounted R/W with maproot=root
else the make reinstall fails quite early on with either EROFS or EPERM.


>How-To-Repeat:

2.2-RELEASE 'make world' performed on machine A, 2.2-mumble on machine B.
B NFS mounts A and 'make reinstall' done on B.


>Fix:
	
make reinstall should not have to fondle osrelease.h or osreldate.h or whatever file it was.
