Description ahd 2001-06-24 16:00:09 UTC 
Install of FreeBSD 4.3 fails well into the install because /usr/obj is R/O.  I would expect R/W not to be required on an install, or if it was, to be checked before partially updating the system.

Here's a sample of the failure mode:


	.
	.

Appending installation info to /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/mach/perllocal.pod
===> gnu/usr.bin/perl/library/SDBM_File
cd /usr/obj/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/library/SDBM_File/ext/SDBM_File ; make -B install  INSTALLPRIVLIB=/usr/libdata/perl/5.00503  INSTALLARCHLIB=/usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/mach
cd sdbm && make all
rm -rf libsdbm.a
rm: libsdbm.a: Read-only file system

Fix: 

Workaround is, of course, to allow R/W access to /usr/obj as root.
How-To-Repeat: 	make installworld with R/O /usr/obj

There shouldn't be any attempts to "make" something in the object 
directory during the install phase.  If you observe this, it'smuch 
likely that /usr/src and /usr/obj are time-unbalanced, i.e. some 
files in /usr/src have more recent modification dates.
