I use a separate obj tree and rarely use obj links.  My current obj tree
even works with the 2.2 /usr/src/Makefile and the 2.2 /usr/src/include!,
at least as as far as installing all the includes, with DESTDIR=/c/z/root
where /c/z/root is initially empty.  The problem might be with stale
obj links.
