Hi

I am using make installworld (after a successful buildworld on the host server,
of course) using read-only mounts of /usr/src and /usr/obj

This is still a problem even if the server has had installworld run.

It fails at

===> include
cd /usr/src/include;  install -C -o bin -g bin -m 444  a.out.h ar.h assert.h

/usr/obj has to be mounted writeable in order that

creating osreldate.h from newvers.sh
. /usr/src/include/../sys/conf/newvers.sh;                       echo
"$COPYRIGHT" > osreldate.h;                        echo \#'undef
__FreeBSD_version' >> osreldate.h;        echo \#'define __FreeBSD_version'
$RELDATE >> osreldate.h
install -C -o bin -g bin -m 444 osreldate.h  /usr/include

can proceed. Shame it breaks the idea of mounting ro
