Or remotely mount /usr/obj and /usr/src, and do 15 make installworlds on
15 machines. In fact, I'm not totally sure that first method works,
because I think that perl, at least, records the name of DESTDIR during
the 'make buildworld' so moving DESTDIR only in installworld, that might
bomb later when you ran it.
In fact, I think that will happen, and to cc1 (of gcc) also, because the
'specs' get set during buildworld, don't they?
The above would only be safe, I think, if you did the make buildworld with
the same DESTDIR. Anyone know if that's true?
