(Maybe I should post this to tech-toolchain instead...)

Comparing the contents of obj/METALOG and $(DESTDIR) shows that
there are no entries in METALOG for almost all the directories.
(nothing else is missing).

I don't know what is creating the directories, all but one
(drwxr-xr-x  3 dsl  wheel  512 Jan 10 18:01
./usr/bsd-current/dest/usr/include/fs)
have rxw------ permissions - which are not the default.

The only directories in METALOG are:

./usr/bsd-current/dest type=dir mode=0755 uname=root gname=wheel
./usr/bsd-current/dest/usr/include/fs/smbfs type=dir mode=0755
uname=root gname=wheel
./usr/bsd-current/dest/usr/include/i386 type=dir mode=0755 uname=root
gname=wheel
./usr/bsd-current/dest/usr/share/zoneinfo type=dir mode=0755 uname=root
gname=wheel
./usr/bsd-current/dest/usr/share/zoneinfo/* type=dir mode=0755
uname=root gname=wheel

I have a vague plan to use METALOG to set the permissions when I copy
stuff from destdir into the target root fs.
