After your changes to build.sh in rev. 1.191 of Aug 5th it appears
that it is now mandatory to use -O or -M with build.sh. Before this
change I used build.sh without specifying -O or -M (my typical use is
a plain and sometimes somewhat dangerous 'sh build.sh -u -E build).

I feel much more comfortable having set the paths to the source and
object directories in /etc/mk.conf rather than specifying them in each
call to build.sh.

The part of my /etc/mk.conf that is not related to pkgsrc is:

# Generate object files in machine dependent locations
OBJMACHINE=true
USR_OBJMACHINE=true
MKOBJDIRS=yes

BSDOBJDIR=/home/NetBSD/obj
BSDSRCDIR=/home/NetBSD/src

MKTOOLS=YES
MAKEVERBOSE=1

# X11
X11_TYPE=modular


My question really is whether it is intentional that using BSDOBJDIR
and BSDSRCDIR in /etc/mk.conf has stopped working ?
