Hello,

I'm compiling NetBSD 2.0.2 userland in the unprivilege case (and outside
/usr/src by the way).
Making sets fails when trying to generate MAKEDEV, since MAKEDEV is
created in /usr/src/etc where my unprivilege user has nothing to do.

Here is the relevant part of the log:

--------------

cannot create /usr/src/etc/MAKEDEV: permission denied
------------------

So with /usr/src/etc/Makefile {.TARGET} evaluates without prefixing
with the OBJDIR I'm compiling in.

Here are the commands passed in my own makefile:

----------
OBJDIR=/usr/local/obj/polynum.NETBSD-DISTRIB-generic_NetBSD-i386_NetBSD-i386
NETBSDSRCDIR=/usr/src
TARGET_ARCH=i386
X11SRCDIR=/usr/xsrc

all: distribution

# We are building with these features:
#	 - unpriviliged
#	 - taking into account the possibility for the source tree to be
#	 nonexec
#	 - finally building the sets
#	 - allowing to rebuild without cleaning (updating)
#
distribution:
	cd $(NETBSDSRCDIR); \
	NOCLEANDIR=yes sh $(NETBSDSRCDIR)/build.sh -M $(OBJDIR) -a $(TARGET_ARCH) -X $(X11SRCDIR) -x -U distribution;\
	sh $(NETBSDSRCDIR)/build.sh -M $(OBJDIR) -a $(TARGET_ARCH) -X $(X11SRCDIR) -x -U sets	 
----------

This worked AFAIR with 2.0, what am I doing wrong resulting in MAKEDEV
not generated where it should be (outside sources)?

TIA.
