>Description:
If /usr/obj is mounted read only, make installworld fails during Perl.

Normally I update my firewall by NFS mounting /usr/src and /usr/obj read-only, off a server with a lot more compile horsepower.  [Ever do a buildworld on a 486/66?]  This time, while doing the installworld to upgrade from 4.5p19 to 4.7R, it failed during perl5.

[The following are from notes that I can hardly read so may contain mistakes and the ??? is something I can't read. :-(]
It failed with:
Appending installation info to /usr/libdat/perl/5.00503/mach/perl/???pod===>gnu/usr.bin/perl/library/SBM_FILE
Stop in /usr/obj/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/library/SDBM_File/ext/SDBM_File/sdbm

Mounting /usr/obj r/w lets the installworld proceed, but seems wrong to me.

This was a freshly SUP'd 4.7R, as of 10/12.      
>How-To-Repeat:
Mount /usr/obj readonly
cd /usr/src; make installworld
>Fix:
WORKAROUND is to mount /usr/obj read/write.

It looks like the fix will involve how Perl is installed.
