Hi,

While building openafs on FreeBSD I get a error related to opt_global.h
for which I need to make a softlink at /usr/src/sys/${CPUARCH}/compile/GENERIC
pointing to /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC and then the build succeeds. So I would
like to ask is there any specific reason to use /usr/src/sys/${CPUARCH}/compile/GENERIC
instead of /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC directly because by default freebsd doesn't creates
a softlink over there.

Thanks
