I don't think that's actually impossible, but it would require quite a
lot of faffing about to get right -- you would have to end up with
separate trees under /usr/obj for the 486 and non-486 builds, and
you'ld have to have quite a complicated /etc/make.conf and probably
some sort of external variable setting to singnal if you were doing a
486 build.
Probably what you should do instead is set up a jail on your build
server machine and use that to do make worlds for your 486 box. It
will be a lot simpler in the long run. You should be able to use a
loopback NFS mount, or mount_null(8) so you only have one copy of
/usr/src that you need to keep cvsup'd to date.
Cheers,
Matthew
