changing this to a relative path would not work for me.  i sup
in to /splode/src (/usr/src -> /splode/src), and build the
non-kernel world there.  i keep the kernel world under cvs, and
routinely `cvs import' from /splode/src/sys, and keep a checked
out copy in in /sys (/sys -> /splode/build/src/sys).  and i've
changed syscalls.c from time to time (well, syscalls.master..)
while playing.

but i don't have an alternative.  i just think /sys should always
exist and point to the "right" place.
