Hi.

I should have explained myself a little better. What I'm actually trying
to do is compile a minimal OpenBSD snapshot so that I can distribute binari=
es=20
to my very slow firewall machine (which also lacks a compiler, for
security reasons). The jail is purely there because the OpenBSD
compilation process seems to make the assumption that it's working in
/usr/src so I thought it would be a good idea to partition the process
off from the rest of the system.
