Aren't there still kernel-land differences in rx?  Given
that afs is only useful in the kernel, there doesn't seem
to be any good reason to copy that.

Most make's support VPATH, but there are some nasty
portability gotchas, and this might also make it more
tricky to manage building multiple object trees that
share one source tree.  It could probably be done, but
it may take some work to make it work right everywhere
needed.
