What's wrong with BSDOBJDIR?

All you need to do is, on the server, have BSDSRCDIR point to the source.
Then on the server do a make obj. Now all the clients will see obj dirs
which are sym links to (the server's idea of) BSDOBJDIR. i.e. out of the
src tree. Then just populate BSDOBJDIR on the clients and you're set. :-)

Take care,
