>Description:

When manually cross-compiling a kernel for some machine where the OBJDIR in
the make wrapper was set up for another user (and the current ueser has no
permissions) causes a warning.

>How-To-Repeat:

as one user:
	cd src
	./build.sh -m evbarm -a earmv5 -M /work/obj/evbearmv5 -T /work/tools ...

as another user:
	cd src/sys/arch/evbarm/conf
	config $KERNEL
	/work/tools/bin/nbmake-evbarm depend && /work/tools/bin/nbmake-evbarm -j $N

This now causes a warning if the build.sh -M dir is not writable:

make warning: /work/obj/evbearmv5/work/src: Permission denied.
depending the kern library objects
#    create  kern/proc_compare.d
CC=/work/tools/bin/arm--netbsdelf-eabi-gcc /work/tools/bin/nbmkdep -f proc_compare.d.tmp  --   -std=gnu99   --sysroot=/work/hosts/evbearmv5 -I../../../../../../lib/libkern/arch/arm --sysroot=/work/hosts/evbearmv5 -DKERNEL_BASE_VOFFSET="(0xc0008000-0x00008000)" -I../../. -I../../../../../../external/bsd/libnv/dist -I../../../../../../../common/lib/libx86emu -I../../../../../../../common/lib/libc/misc -I../../../../../../../common/include -I../../../../../../arch -I../../../../../.. -nostdinc -DCOMPAT_UTILS -D__HAVE_PCI_CONF_HOOK -D__HAVE_CPU_UAREA_ALLOC_IDLELWP -DCOM_REGMAP -DKERNEL_BASE_EXT="0xc0000000" -DMSGBUFSIZE="32768" -DDIAGNOSTIC -D_KERNEL -D_KERNEL_OPT -std=gnu99 -I../../../../../../lib/libkern/../../../common/lib/libc/quad -I../../../../../../lib/libkern/../../../common/lib/libc/string -I../../../../../../lib/libkern/../../../common/lib/libc/arch/arm/string -I../../../../../../lib/libkern/../../../common/lib/libc/hash/sha3 -I../../../../../../lib/libkern/../../../common/lib/
 libc/quad -I../../../../../../lib/libkern/../../../common/lib/libc/string -I../../../../../../lib/libkern/../../../common/lib/libc/arch/arm/string -I../../../../../../lib/libkern/../../../common/lib/libc/hash/sha3 -I../../../../../../lib/libkern/../../../common/include -I../../../../../../lib/libkern/../../../common/libc/hash/sha3     ../../../../../../lib/libkern/../../../common/lib/libutil/proc_compare.c &&  mv -f proc_compare.d.tmp proc_compare.d

This always used to work if the kernel in question did not already have an
objdir, so the local dir is used for building.

I'd argue that it should continue to work w/o warning.

Also the warning itself is not very descriptive maybe something like:

could not create $OBJDIR /work/obj/evbearmv5/work/src/sys/arch/evbarm/compile/$KERNEL: Permission denied.

would be better.

n/a
