There *must* be make installworld dependancies outside of the /usr/src and
/usr/obj filesystems. Pulling an installworld (or install for that matter)
from a remote machine's /usr/src/ and /usr/obj is broken. Pushing an
installworld to the target machine by mounting it's filesystem is working.
That tells me there's something necessary but unavailable when you try to
make installworld from the older box.

I have these remote mounted from a remote machine, which can't seem to find
everything when it attempts most make targets.

If I run the installworld from the master, with DESTDIR=/mnt which is a
nfsmount of the target machine, ...well I'm *way* into the install process,
into the usr.sbin stuff, well past the libraries that used to fail to
install about 1 minute through.

I'm not asking "what to do." I want to understand what's going on here. I
manually copied the /etc/make.conf and /usr/share/mk/* to the distribution
target, and it didn't affect my results when running make installworld from
the target machine. Was make on the target machine out of sync with the
makefiles in the 08-18 STABLE tree?
