Huh? Wasn't one of the things we wanted to have a multitude of
obj-dirs on a single machine for the same arch, all of which should
exist and be compileable in concurrently. Different people using
different compile tools and different options concurrently. Not hard
to imagine. I find it strange to build from the source tree, it's
really backwards... I also find it strange that the source tree have
the links to the obj-trees, it should be the opposite. When I say
links I don't mean FS links specifically but rather as a general term.
I think FSF does this much better, but then that's prolly a bad
opinion in this forum :-)
