"make universe" creates separate logs for each target and architecture but these are all hard-wired to be in the tree being built. This prevents the use of "make universe" with a read-only root (in my case, I wanted to use a ro NFS mount), Fix: The following patch creates a new "LOGDIR" variable and creates all the "make universe" logfiles in that directory. If not specified, it defaults to "${.CURDIR}" for consistency with the existing behaviour. How-To-Repeat: Mount a source tree read-only and run "make universe". It will report lots of failures like: cannot create _.amd64.buildworld: Read-only file system
