Hi folks,

I routinely run 'make installworld' from a read-only NFS-mounted
/usr/src, using a read-only NFS-mounted /usr/obj .  This allows me to
perform builds on a non-production box and then upgrade all my servers
from its obj tree.

The last time I did this was a couple of weeks ago and it worked.  Now I
get the following error:

make installworld
...
===> gnu/usr.bin/perl/library/SDBM_File
cd sdbm && make all
rm -rf libsdbm.a
rm: libsdbm.a: Read-only file system
*** Error code 1

If I use 'make -i', it is evident that this isn't all such errors are in
the src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/library tree, but this is the first one
encountered.

It looks like the installworld target causes an attempted write to the
obj tree, which is naughty.

Any ideas?

Ciao,
Sheldon.

PS: I searched the -stable list archives for "read-only AND NFS AND
    install AND error".
