I have sources in /cvs/src, and all the rest (tools, objects, destdir,
release, ...) under /cvs/obj by setting this in the environment: 

export MAKEOBJDIR='${.CURDIR:C,^/cvs/src,/cvs/obj,}'

This way I can call build.sh without all the extra arguments: 

./build.sh tools
./build.sh kernel=GENERIC
./build.sh distribution sets

etc
