Hello,

I'm having a problem getting make to understand the current working
directory.

For example, I have a directory structure where /usr/src and /usr/obj
are symbolic links to another location.  When I type: make
installkernel, make thinks I'm in the directory /mnt/src, instead of
/usr/src, and the make fails.

Question is, how can I get make to resolve it's working directory from
a logical, rather than physical perspective, as in PWD(1) ?
