* From: "Thomas T. Veldhouse" <veldy@visi.com>
* That is what I originally tried, but it didn't work. Eventually I got it by
* doing the following:
*
* cd /usr/obj
* mkdir mnt
* cd mnt
* ln -s /mnt/obj/usr/src src
* cd /mnt/src
* make -DNOAOUT installworld
Really? I would think that will have the same effect
("/usr/obj/mnt/src" pointing to "/usr/obj/usr/src").
Oh well. By the way, does anyone know if there is some way all this
can be normalized back so that a subdir foo/bar of /usr/src will be
built in /usr/obj/foo/bar regardless of where /usr/src actually points
to? I know that the current behavior is good for allowing builds of
multiple source trees but that seems like penalizing the more common
case for the sake of a very minor case.
(Without looking at the code, my guess is that it's pretty hard
because it's using ${.CURDIR} all over the place, but anyway.)
