Alastair, I don't understand where the hostility comes from.  I've given you
the solution to your problem several times, have you even tried it?  I've never
tried to discourage you from using a read-only source tree, that really doesn't
matter to etcupdate.  I've recommended a persistent object directory but that
doesn't really matter either.  The only thing that matters is that etcupdate
needs to know _where_ your object directory is.  If it's in a non-standard
location, you need to pass etcupdate the same MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX that you use
when building.  (I would suggest mounting a tmpfs on /usr/obj instead, but you
do you).

Alternatively, if you don't want etcupdate to reuse your existing object
directory, you can use the -b command-line option to tell it to create its own,
but there is no advantage to doing so and it can add several minutes to the run
time.
