That's `tar xvfC - ${CHROOTDIR}/usr'.  If your /usr/release is on the
same partition as your /usr/src, then you can instead do:

	cd /usr; find src | cpio -dumpl ${CHROOTDIR}/usr

which will create a tree of hard links.  And, of course, if
/usr/src is on a separate filesystem, then you can do:

	cd ${CHROOTDIR}/usr/src; dump 0f - /dev/whatever | restore rvf -

On my release-building machine, the end-point of a release build for
our modified system looks like this:

Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/sd0h      643199   393693   198050    67%    /usr/release
