: 
: assumption of presence of ../../sys is very bad, my src tree's are often
: not rooted at /usr/src or any otherplace that would have a ../../sys.  And
: more often than not ../../sys points to a deferent set of sources than
: what is being built if it does happen to be rooted at /usr/src.

I *NEVER* have /usr/obj/../../sys on my machines.  EVER.  Why can't
you link to the source tree?  ${.CURDIR} is valid.
