A has all the source in /vol/src/FreeBSD-stable/src, it exports /vol/src. B has /scratch/obj, it exports /scratch. /vol/src is mounted on B and C. /usr/src is linked to /vol/src/FreeBSD-stable/src on all 3 machines. /scratch is mounted on A and C. /usr/obj is linked to /scratch/obj on all 3 machines. I do a buildworld on B and then installworld on all three machines (in single used mode) It works fine.
