'make buildkernel' works without a populated /usr/obj tree, and with
only the /usr/src/sys tree and /usr/src/Makefile and
/usr/src/Makefile.inc. I know because I just tried it.
The only thing that needs to change is the setting of OBJFORMAT_PATH
from ${WORLDTMP}/usr/libexec to ${WORLTMP}/usr/libexec:/usr/libexec.
What do you think, Marcel?
