Hi Arne, to be honest, I'm unsure what to think of it. I could be worthwhile in some circumstances and create more confusion in others. But why not?
As for your general problem, we've set up a special machine called "afsrw", where we mounted a special "root.cell.rw" volume, which has no RO-copies. Like this, we are always in the RW-Path on that machine and can perform the "make install" into the RO-PATH.
