It sounds like it's time for my occasional commercial for divergefs, a file system which lets you layer arbitrary changes on top of a read-only file system (it even handles deletions). If you say % divergefs -p /some/dir /sys/src you can build whatever you want. And you can resume your work the next day with the same command. Dave Eckhardt
