As someone who get merge conflicts (in CheriBSD) from a fairly part
portion of these commits, I much prefer the small commits. While it's
arguably the same work, I find it easier to review a small set of merge
conflicts than a massive diff which might include multiple types of
conflicts.
Personally, I like the ${SRCTOP} changes and think using absolute tree
relative paths is the way to go. Use of ${SRCTOP} consistently should
make it easier to relocate things in the tree when that makes sense and
makes including Makefile.inc's from other parts of the tree easier (for
example, in CheriBSD, I build a libc_nosyscalls and a libsyscalls by
including appropriate bits from libc's build infrastructure.
