Yes. I do this all the time. Except I have an Pentium II 500MHz
box. I do a make buildworld there and an installworld on the 486
box. I have to make sure that the /usr/obj and /usr/src trees are the
same between the two (mounted in the same place, same sym links, etc)
and that my /etc/make.conf is the same. Otherwise it just works. You
have to have /usr/obj writable by root, so it can't be read only :-(,
but that's about the only snag I can think of.
Of course I have no PPro or Pentium II specific optimizations in my
tree. They don't seem to help much anyway.
