The assumption that ../../sys exists is based on the fact that the
"normal" include directory is /usr/include and that there's a symlink
named sys in the root that points to a kernel source tree (eg
/usr/src/sys). Now that symlinks are used in the temporary world (ie
/usr/obj/.../tmp), the only thing missing was a symlink named sys in the
temporary world that points to the corresponding kernel sources (ie
${.CURDIR}/sys). This is all independent of which source tree you are
building.
