All my systems that build sources have not had a /usr/src at all for
at least three years, maybe 4 now.  Nothing in bsd.*.mk assumes
/usr/src and things work just fine without them.  And have for years.
Terry must be doing something else wrong. :-)

You may be right about non-default compilers.  We at timing solutions
have a bunch of files that wrap bsd.*.mk that allow us to change the
compiler to compile our sources.  But I've always run into problems
trying to do that in the past.
