 The build cluster suffers from the same issue, hence the non-public
 code to work around it.  When I discussed this with releng two years
 ago, Soren Jacobsen wrote:
 
   Unfortunately, this is done by a dumb hack in our build scripts :(  The

   It would be nice if normal builds just defaulted to generating the
   appropriate directories...
