Hi,

Is it possible to have a single src directory that is shared by various
architectures to build releases?

I have a few old computers (vax, hppa, sparc), most of them with quite
small hard disks.  Too small to build the userland.  I also have a i386
with more than enough disk space running as nfs server.
Right now, I have a /export/${arch}/src and /export/${arch}/obj for each
architecture.  Works fine, but most of the contents of the source
directories is the same for each architecture.  Seems like a waste of
resources to keep it separate.

The FAQ mentions building a kernel with a read only source tree, but
nothing about userland.  Is it possible to mount /usr/src read-only and
build the userland?

Thanks,
Maurice
