System: NetBSD arnor.xavhome.fr.eu.org 1.6Z NetBSD 1.6Z (XAVIER) #2: Tue Sep 9 23:45:04 CEST 2003 root@arnor.xavhome.fr.eu.org:/usr/obj.i386/sys/arch/i386/compile/XAVIER i386

>Description:
	My source tree is mounted read-only from a NFS server. Building goes flawlessly, as well as install process, but
	etcupdate fails, claiming to write into /usr/src/gnu/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf/ :
	
	| (cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf; make distribution)
	| rm -f netbsd-proto.cf
	| (cd /usr/src/gnu/dist/sendmail/cf/cf &&  /usr/tools.i386/bin/nbm4 /usr/src/gnu/dist/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4 /usr/src/gnu/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf/netbsd-proto.mc > /usr/src/gnu/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf/netbsd-proto.cf)
	| cannot create /usr/src/gnu/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf/netbsd-proto.cf: read-only file system
	| 
	| *** Failed target:  netbsd-proto.cf
	| *** Failed command: (cd /usr/src/gnu/dist/sendmail/cf/cf &&  /usr/tools.i386/bin/nbm4 /usr/src/gnu/dist/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4 /usr/src/gnu/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf/netbsd-proto.mc > /usr/src/gnu/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf/netbsd-proto.cf)

>How-To-Repeat:
	run /usr/sbin/etcupdate on a clean source-tree, mounted read-only :
	[root]# TOOLDIR=/usr/tools.i386 /usr/sbin/etcupdate
>Fix:
	Remount the source tree read-write.
	But next CVS update complains about an unknown file :
	"? /usr/src/gnu/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf/netbsd-proto.cf"
