  | Any suggestions on how dhcpcd.conf(5) could be improved?

No, but I was kind of hoping there would be a way using just rc.conf
(and maybe there will be when I look at it closer).   That is, I read
the dhcpcd man page to see if there was a command line option I could
set, but nothing jumped out at me.   So I had not gotten around to looking
in there before it was suggested to me.

The system in question gets built by newfsing its partition, mounting
it, setting the DESTDIR for a build to that directory, doing a complete
build, then unmount, copy appropriate DomU kernel to where xen expects to
find it, and boot.    I am kind of hoping for as few mods as possible being
required to what a full build produces - I have fstab, hosts, and rc.conf
(and now. dhcpcd.conf as well) which I copy in after the build finishes,
before unmounting.     The fstab copied in allows nfs mounting the src
directory, so after it boots, it can set about building all over again
(all this to verify that everything builds and works before committing
changes to sh ...)

The stable address is desireable so the nfs server can permit just that
system to mount the sources, without needing to fiddle it every time.
