The problem for me was that /usr/obj was symlinked to a different
disk (/usr/obj -> /u2/obj) on the build machine.

This caused make's dynamically generated paths to reference /u2/obj
directly instead of /usr/obj, which necessitated that a symlink
(/u2 -> /usr) be present on the nfs client machine in order for
installworld to work.  Maybe this should be pointed out somewhere.
