There's not always a symlink. The dir name is not always /usr/obj or
/usr/src/obj. The documentation is spread out all over the place.
I have an interest in making build.sh do the right thing, but I have
no interest in figuring out how the many complex rules interact. If
somebody else can figure out what the rules are, and document them in a
complete and readable way, then I can make build.sh do the right thing.
Until then, I'll keep on saying "don't rely on the complex rules; pass
explicit -O and -T flags to build.sh".
